13.4.1 “My Common Lisp implementation comes with an outdated version of ASDF. What to do?”

If you have a recent implementation, it should already come with ASDF 3 or later. If you need a more recent version than is provided, we recommend you simply upgrade ASDF by installing a recent version in a path configured in your source-registry. See Upgrading ASDF.

If you have an old implementation that does not provide ASDF 3, we recommend you replace your implementation's ASDF. See Replacing your implementation's ASDF.
