Should we for insance shutdown running nodes before upgrade?

Answer 1

To upgrade, first shut down any nodes that are running by issuing the following command:

multichain-cli [chain-name] stop

Then, yes, simply replace the 3 executables, and start up the node again:

multichaind [chain-name] -daemon
