git reset --hardStep 3
Use master branch
git checkout masterStep 4
Clean the source directory.
make cleanStep 5
Update the source. (If you’ve made any changes to the source code, this step may not pull the latest source. Please make sure you used the step above to eliminate this issue.)
git pullStep 6
Compile the latest binary.
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)Start your services as usual. (If you have not stopped the Komodo daemon before compiling, please stop the daemon now and start it again.)
