How to check current blockstack-core version?

I am looking to upgrade my server to blockstack-core version 0.17 but am a bit confused on where to see which version I am currently running. I suspect it is 0.14 but I am not sure. Where can I check this through the command line?

Hey @blockpac,

You can use blockstack-core version to get the version number.

Hi @jude
Thanks for that. I am running 0.14.1.6 on my local machine and just did the following:

  1. blockstack-core stop
  2. renamed ~/.blockstack-server to something with ‘old’
  3. blockstack-core fast_sync http://fast-sync.blockstack.org/snapshot.bsk
  4. blockstack-core --debug start

However when I run blockstack-core version after these steps, I still have version 0.14.1.6 ?

What am I doing wrong? These are my logs -->

sudo blockstack-core fast_sync http://fast-sync.blockstack.org/snapshot.bsk
Synchronizing from snapshot. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored
Node synchronized! Node state written to /root/.blockstack-server
Start your node with blockstack-core start
Pass --debug for extra output.

sudo blockstack-core --debug start

@jude update:

When I run ‘blockstack info’ I get:

blockstack info
{
“advanced_mode”: true,
“cli_version”: “0.14.1.6”,
“consensus_hash”: “0e480fe76a3780ae8af0f60434cfa4a5”,

“server_alive”: true,
“server_host”: “node.blockstack.org”,
“server_port”: 6264,
“server_version”: “0.17.0.7”

Seems like the server is at version 0.17.0.7 but the CLI is at 0.14.1.6 ?
