# NoPorts Client Upgrade

### Upgrade sshnp

Upgrading to the latest version of sshnp follows the same process as installation, as the installer automatically replaces existing binaries with the new ones.

To upgrade, follow the [installation guide](/installation/advanced-installation-guides/client-installation-sshnp.md) up to **Step 3**, then return to this page to verify the upgrade.

### Verify the Upgrade

To check the current version of sshnp installed on your machine simply execute the binary:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Linux" %}

<pre class="language-sh"><code class="lang-sh"><strong>sshnp --version
</strong></code></pre>

The first line of output should contain the version information:

```sh
Version : x.x.x
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="macOS" %}

```bash
sshnp --version
```

The first line of output should contain the version information:

```tex
Version : x.x.x
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows" %}

```powershell
sshnp.exe
```

The first line of output should contain the version information:

```tex
Version : x.x.x
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Troubleshooting the Upgrade

If you continue to get an old version number, it's likely that there's an old binary which wasn't replaced on the machine. Try the following to debug your binary location:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Linux" %}
First, use this command to locate the sshnp binary:

```bash
command -v sshnp
```

The command should output the location of the binary which is on the `PATH`. Try deleting this binary then rerunning the installer.

```sh
rm "$(command -v sshnp)"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="macOS" %}
First, use this command to locate the sshnp binary:

```bash
command -v sshnp
```

The command should output the location of the binary which is on the `PATH`. Try deleting this binary then rerunning the installer.

```sh
rm "$(command -v sshnp)"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows" %}
Since Windows doesn't include a dedicated installer, upgrading should be as simple as moving the new binary to wherever you installed the previous one.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.noports.com/installation/upgrading-noports-software/client-upgrade-sshnp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
