Also, somehow after installing it, I am not seeing the sliver-server_linux file.

Expected behavior
Expected sliver-server to run.

was able to fix it by completly remove everything related to sliver.

remove .sliver and .sliver-client and everything sliver related on the /root folder.

Sorry about openning this thread.

Yea, unfortunately v1.5.40 isn't backwards compatible due to security fixes so you need to clear out the home directories.
