Description

Running the command keybase update check on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit correctly informs me that my release is out of date, but keybase update run returns the error Error parsing command line arguments: No default destination path for this environment. The help command offers no clue as to the correct format for a destination path argument, and appending the path - as sudo keybase update run /usr/bin/ - changes nothing.

Keybase was installed through the official .deb package.

Research direction

Start with the keybase update run command and its help output, reproducing the failure on the reported Ubuntu 14.04 environment if available. Trace how the command determines its destination and clarify or correct the accepted destination-path behavior so an update can run successfully.
