~$ brew upgrade turbot/tap/powerpipe

Homebrew core vs turbot/tap?

Our recommended source for latest releases is the turbot/tap repository, which is kept up to date automatically.

Want more control over the install process?

Powerpipe is also available as a binary executable (or you can build from source). To manually install Powerpipe, unzip the executable and move it to a directory included in your system's PATH. You can access the source, zipped executables and binary checksums from the releases section of the Powerpipe Github repo.
