Updating the Geth wallet for Ethereum

NOTE: Do not use this article if you are using Infura as your ETH wallet, as this does not deliver updates to it, and may start Geth instead which will consume server resources.

As always, it is important to back up your wallet, especially before making changes to wallet software.

Checking your version

You may check your current wallet version with:

geth version

If it is not v1.8.16, you should update the Geth wallet to the latest.

Updating Ethereum

In order to update, run this command in your server's terminal:

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/naconner/lamascripts/master/updates/nodes/eth.sh | bash

If successful, it will output 'Ethereum is updated' and your server will be running the latest Geth version.

Verifying

Afterwards, verify that the earlier version command now outputs the latest.

Additionally, check that the Funding panel in your admin displays your current balance.
