MainNet and TestNet have been updated to 2.6.0 today, Wed May 26, 2021 10:30 AM EDT (14:30 UTC)

If you have your node set to automatic updates, you don’t need to do anything. It will automatically update to the newer version whenever that becomes available. If you are having issues with your automatic updates, a fix has been added for this in the 2.6.0 version.

I am having trouble with updating my Testnet. I ran:

`./update.sh -c stable -i -d <data-directory> -n`

But I got the following error.

`-bash: ./update.sh: No such file or directory`

I also tried switching my genesis files to run on another net, but my node is still connecting to `testnet-v1.0`. I’d appreciate any suggestions or advice, thanks!

The `./update.sh ...` command assumes that you installed the software using the steps from [Install a Node - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/install/#installing-with-other-linux-distros).  
Furthermore, this command needs to be run from the folder containing the `update.sh` script.

If you are using the Debian/Ubuntu package, please follow [Install a Node - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/install/#updating-node)

The `update.sh` was in my node directory. When I ran:

`./update.sh -c stable -i -d <data-directory> -n`

from the node directory, the script successfully deployed. Thanks @fabrice !
