Note that this will remove the default $HOME/.dapr directory, binaries and all containers daprredis, daprplacement and dapr_zipkin. Linux users need to run sudo if docker command needs sudo: ```bash dapr uninstall --all ``` For RC releases like this, download the latest and greatest release from and put the `dapr` binary in your PATH. Once you have installed the CLI, run: ```bash dapr init --runtime-version=$dapr_version ``` Wait for the update to finish, ensure you are using the latest version of Dapr($dapr_version) with: ```bash $ dapr --version CLI version: $dapr_version Runtime version: $dapr_version ``` You can perform zero-downtime upgrades using both Helm 3 and the Dapr CLI. Download the latest RC release from and put the `dapr` binary in your PATH. To upgrade Dapr, run: ``` dapr upgrade --runtime-version $dapr_version -k ``` To upgrade with high availability mode: ``` dapr upgrade --runtime-version $dapr_version --enable-ha=true -k ``` Wait until the operation is finished and check your status with `dapr status -k`.
