How to update your ZHCash wallet

Updating your ZHCash wallet is quite easy, however, this process changes depending on which operating system you're running, in this document we'll go over the following OS:

  • Windows

  • Mac OS

  • Linux

Keeping your ZHCash wallet up-to-date is one of the most important tasks that any staker, holder, developer and any type of ZHCash user must do.

The process itself is quite simple, however it does vary depending on the operating system you're using.

Update ZHCash on Windows

In this example, we're running a 0.17.6 ZHCash wallet version on Windows, it is outdated and won't be part of the hardfork, (we need to update ASAP).

However, if we're running the wallet (staking or just left it open), we need to do the following;

  1. Close the wallet

  2. Download latest ZHCash wallet version from either one of these links:https://github.com/zerohourcash/zerohourcash https://zh.cash

  3. Install the latest wallet using the windows installer

  4. Once the installer finishes, launch the wallet

  5. Voila! you've updated ZHCash to the latest version available!

Update ZHCash on Mac OS

In this example, we're running a 0.17.6 ZHCash wallet version on Mac OS, it is outdated and won't be part of the hardfork, (we need to update ASAP).

Install the latest wallet using the Mac OS dmg

    • Once the upgrade finishes, launch the wallet

Voila! you've updated ZHCash to the latest version available!

Update ZHCash on Linux

In this example, we're running a 0.17.6 ZHCash wallet version on Linux, it is outdated and won't be part of the hardfork, (we need to update ASAP).

Now, if you just open the wallet, it'll show this screen where it says the wallet is outdated and that we should update to latest version.

  • Close the wallet

  • If you're using ZHCash Repo (recommended), all you have to do is either one of these:

    • Debian/Ubuntu/Mint sudo apt update && sudo apt install --upgrade-only ZHCash

  • Once the package manager finishes upgrading, launch the wallet

  • Voila! you've updated ZHCash to the latest version available!
