Revision history [back]

If the operating system version is not up to date, it may not have the latest version of OpenSSH included. In this case, you can manually update OpenSSH using the following steps:

1. Check the current version of OpenSSH:

   ssh -V
   

2. Download the latest OpenSSH source code from the official website:

   wget https://openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-8.6p1.tar.gz
   

3. Extract the source code:

   tar -xzf openssh-8.6p1.tar.gz
   

4. Compile the source code:

   cd openssh-8.6p1
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install
   

5. Verify that the latest version of OpenSSH is now installed:

   ssh -V
   

Note: If any dependencies are missing, you may need to install them first before compiling OpenSSH.
