## Downgrading IPFS versions

Downgrading your IPFS version (for instance, from 4.0 to 3.8) is not as complicated as upgrading. You can't use the same repository simultaneously for both versions. Here is how you switch

First, go to your repo for IPFS, check out the right branch, and re-install.

```sh
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
git checkout master # (or the version you want)
go install ./cmd/ipfs
```

Then to backup your repo:

```sh
mv ~/.ipfs ~/.ipfs.bak
```

Finally, run:

```sh
ipfs init
ipfs daemon
```

And you should be all set.
