## Upgrading Your Starport Installation

Before you install a new version of Starport, remove all existing Starport installations.

To remove the current Starport installation:

1. On your terminal window, press Ctrl C to stop the chain that you started with `starport serve`.
1. Remove the Starport binary with `rm $(which starport)`.
Depending on your user permissions, run the command with or without `sudo`.
1. Repeat this step until all `starport` installations are removed from your system.

After all existing Starport installations are removed, follow the [Installing Starport with cURL](#installing-starport-with-curl) instructions. For details on version features and changes, see the [changelog.md](https://github.com/tendermint/starport/blob/develop/changelog.md) in the repo.
