What is the official process to upgrade to 1.0.1 if you are running sprout? I dont want to blow up my install and wallet. Do you do the git and then recompile?

I am on ubuntu desktop 16.04 and would also like step by step process. I don’t want to blow up my wallet and lose my zec. The official guide is lacking details.

While you are waiting for some official answer, here is the way I did the upgrade on my virtual Linux Mint Setup:

p.s. don’t forget to backup your “wallet.dat” file (copy it to some other location or upload to some cloud storage or whatever).
