The command is softwareupdate. For details and syntax:


man softwareupdate


List, download, and Install are the major verbs for this task.

softwareupdate —-list
softwareupdate —-download {quoted kit name}
softwareupdate --install {quoted kit name}


To update everything:

softwareupdate —-install —-all


macOS itself has some added options:

softwareupdate --list-full-installers
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version {dotted-version}


You will also need to prepend with sudo to install, as root/Admin access is required.
