How update gvm 20.08 to 21.04

Hello, I would like to upgrade to the new version of GVM if you could help me explain how to do it ?

Im in gvm 20.08 and i would like 21.04 or later.

Do you want me to send you a download link?

Yes I want to, but I don’t know how to properly switch to the new version because I installed it via the command install openvas . Thereafter I would like to update my current version.

Thanks

A simple upgrade with your paketmanager should work.
To check your setup after upgrade you can use “gvm-check-setup”.
