My Netdata lives on an very old Ubuntu bionic  
netdata is installed at /opt/netdata

```auto
/opt/netdata/bin/netdatacli version
netdata v1.45.0-106-ge85be29fc

```

Which command would be the correct?  
Some of my tries:

```auto
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --build-only
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --build-only --reinstall
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --static-only --reinstall
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --native-only --reinstall
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --nightly-channel --static-only --reinstall
 wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --install-prefix /opt/netdata --nightly-channel --static-only 

```

None of the above are working.  
Yes, the Ubuntu is very old, but it should working some months until we can upgrade this

What I’m missing here?  
This is a business model, if this does matter

Solved  
my steps were:

“apt purge netdata netdata-repo-edge”  
“wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh [https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh](https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh) && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --reinstall”  
“/opt/netdata/bin/netdatacli version”  
“/opt/netdata/bin/netdatacli aclk-state”  
This is the path to the problem solution. Simply remove the outdated netdata version from the repository, I was just unsure because of the existing integration in the existing workspace.  
/

```auto
opt/netdata/bin/netdatacli version
netdata v1.99.0-407-g44e7fc64a

```

Can be marked as solved

Yes, @Bernd, that is the way. We discontinue native packages for end-of-life platforms. Reinstalling will switch you to the static build, which is compatible with almost all systems.
