[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

This is a quick tutorial on how to update your v 5.5.0 VPS wallet to c 5.5.1

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04

This applies to masternode holders (not desktop wallets)

===========

1) ssh into your vps

2) switch over to admin rights

sudo su

3) now you need to stop maria wallet running

3.1) if you have a server with many masternodes:

killall mariad

and double-check that none are running with the command (please give it a minute for the system to complete the job):

ps ax | grep maria

3.2) if you have 1 wallet running only (in the case of a vps):
start with finding the active process:

ps ax | grep maria

now you will see the number of the active process > look for the letters 'Ssl' < that is the row you need

.. and use your number in this command:

kill -9 yournumber

and double-check that none are running with the command:

ps ax | grep maria

# good job!

4) go to your local bin, usually the directory is 'usr/local/bin':

cd /usr/local/bin

5) see the files

ls -al

6) remove the maria files from there (should be 3):

rm maria-cli mariad maria-tx

7) download the v 5.5.1 wallet to your vps:

wget https://github.com/hostmaria/mariacoin/releases/download/v5.5.1/maria-5.5.1-ubuntu18-daemon.zip

8) unzip it

unzip maria-5.5.1-ubuntu18-daemon.zip

9) now you can delete the downloaded zip file:

rm maria-5.5.1-ubuntu18-daemon.zip

10) make the files executable:

chmod +x maria-cli mariad maria-tx

or, the lazy way (shortcut):

chmod +x mar*

here is a screenshot of how these 3 files should look (note: the date for 5.5.1 files = April 10):

# this is it > the wallet has been updated. Congratulations!

11) start your MN your usual way
