I am upgrading from v1.0.7-1 I am building from zcash source on Ubuntu 16. I checked out the new v1.0.8 branch following the upgrade steps in 1.0 User Guide > **[Home · zcash/zcash Wiki](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/)** > > Zcash - Internet Money. Contribute to zcash/zcash development by creating an account on GitHub. However, I ran into a problem. Note, that “make clean” will fail due to missing dependency “libevent”. I tried “sudo apt-get install libevent-2.0 libevent-dev” This did not fix the dependency issue. Long story short…these steps worked around the issue and “fetched” what was required. First, “./zcutil/build.sh” Second, “make clean” Third, “./zcutil/build.sh” now running zcash v1.0.8 awesome! ---

You’re right that `make clean` doesn’t work reliably; I’ve filed ["make clean" doesn't work reliably · Issue #2226 · zcash/zcash · GitHub](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2226) about that. In this particular case, a single `zcutil/build.sh` would have worked. ---

I’ve also removed `make clean` from the upgrade instructions. ---

I have 2 Ubuntu 16 machines that have been running zcash CPU mining for about 2 days having followed the installation steps in the 1.0 Sprout guide. Just trying to get the hang of this and linux before moving to a mining rig. The third one that I setup today has a different Zcash interface and is running a faster Sol rate that the others (same configuration). What command do I use to with Ubuntu to find the version zcash I’m using? Some what new to linux. Also, if I need to upgrade, do I need to do a new zcash install following the Sprout guide? Thanks in advance! ---

`zcash-cli getnetworkinfo` `{ "version": 1000850, "subversion": "/MagicBean:1.0.8/", "protocolversion": 170002, ...` Upgrading is simple. **Follow the sprout guide.** Basically, fetch the latest from zcash repository then run `./zcutil/build.sh` Each miner you plan on setting up doesn’t necessarily need its own zcash node. Have fun experimenting, I sure am! ---

Tried zcash-cli getnetworkinfo command, but get unknown command. What directory should I be in? ---

You should be in the zcash directory created when cloning the github repo. Per 1.0 Sprout Guide ``` $ git clone https://github.com/zcash/zcash.git $ cd zcash/ $ ....build normally... $ ./src/zcash-cli getnetworkinfo ```
