Google Cloud gsutil instructions say update but there is no update command

On this page: 

https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install?hl=ja#install

The gsutil install recommends, right after install, running

gsutil update

which returns

CommandException: Invalid command "update".

Am I just seeing incorrect documentation? Is there some other way to update?

Checking on 'usage' doesn't mention there being any update command:

What platform are you running on? On CentOS 6, I have gsutil 3.42 and the update command is there. Alternatively, consider instead installing Google Cloud SDK which includes gsutil and other tools and then run gcloud components update. – Misha Brukman
