I am using Kops to setup my Kubernetes cluster.

This is how, I installed kops,

wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/1.6.1/kops-linux-amd64
chmod +x kops-linux-amd64
sudo mv kops-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops

My Kubernetes cluster is pretty old. Now, I want to upgrade it to latest version. I know that kops upgrade cluster works to upgrade the Kubernetes. But, before upgrading the Kubernetes, I want to make sure that my Kops version is latest.

Should I just remove running kops, that is

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/kops

then download the latest release and place it in /usr/local/bin/

wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/1.11.0/kops-darwin-amd64
chmod +x kops-darwin-amd64
sudo mv kops-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops

Is the above procedure correct ? If not, then what is the recommended way to upgrade the Kops ?
