The client and shell versions of InfluxDB on my VM do not match and it is causing errors. This is what shows up when I run influx :
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.12.1
InfluxDB shell version: 1.7.6
Enter an InfluxQL query
Is there a way I could get the version 0.12.1 to 1.7.6 as well?

What system is your VM running? I’m assuming it’s Linux, but which distro /
which release?
Also, how did you install InfluxDB? Which repository or source did you use?

Just a basic question - have you restarted influxdb since the last update?
On my Debian Stretch system, updating doesn’t restart the daemon, so I need to
do that manually in order to get connected to the current version.

Ahh, it was the restart problem. I wasn’t aware that a restart was required. Thank you so much!
