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 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:

Linux

sshnp

The first line of output should contain the version information:

Version : x.x.x

macOS

sshnp

The first line of output should contain the version information:

Version : x.x.x

Windows

sshnp.exe

The first line of output should contain the version information:

Version : x.x.x

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:

Linux

First, use this command to locate the sshnp binary:

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.

rm "$(command -v sshnp)"

macOS

First, use this command to locate the sshnp binary:

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.

rm "$(command -v sshnp)"

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.
