You asked how to update an app. You were told how to update an app. But, of course each app may need to be handled completely differently. If you find an update for an app, read the directions for installing that update and follow those directions.

If the directions ask you to update some variable to indicate where the app should be added/updated, update that variable with the name of the directory where that app is installed on your system (i.e., where you installed that app in the 1st place).
