We recommend installing IPFS from a prebuilt package. You can obtain those from [dist.ipfs.io](https://dist.ipfs.io/#go-ipfs).

For convenience here are the latest versions linked directly

As unrelated note, we need to stop linking to it. I think it would be best to just link to dist.ipfs.io/#go-ipfs

I have replaced it with a download button linking to dist.ipfs.io/#go-ipfs.


Note that the latest available version may not be stable (i.e. release candidates
in the form `vX.X.X-rcX`). So it is recommended to specify the version you want
to install, for example: `ipfs-udpate install v0.4.6`.

Unrelated: We might want to add stable, which would install latest non-rc release.


* Stop the `ipfs` daemon if it is running
* Optionally backup your `ipfs` data folder (i.e. `cp -aL ~/.ipfs ~/.ipfs.bk`)
* Download the latest version of `ipfs` from [https://dist.ipfs.io/#go-ipfs](https://dist.ipfs.io/#go-ipfs)
