# The bitrise.yml has a higher Format Version than the bitrise CLI supports

## Whats going on

Running bitrise run after bitrise init fails with an error saying the bitrise.yml has a higher format version than the bitrise CLI model knows about, for example format version 5 against CLI model version 1.4.0. The config generated by bitrise init is fine. The problem is the locally installed bitrise CLI is ancient, older than the config format the init scanner produced.

## What actually fixes it

This is just an old bitrise CLI. Upgrade to the latest release from the bitrise-io/bitrise releases page and run bitrise run again, it works. The reporter confirmed the upgrade fixed it immediately.
