To stop, remove the current sing-box binary, and install the version you built from source on Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

  1. Stop the sing-box service:

    sudo systemctl stop sing-box

  2. Find the current sing-box executable:

    find / -name "sing-box" -type f 2>/dev/null

    This command will search for the sing-box executable file system-wide and display its location.

  3. Remove the current sing-box executable:

    sudo rm /path/to/sing-box

    Replace /path/to/sing-box with the actual path of the sing-box executable found in step 2.

  4. Uninstall the sing-box package (if installed via package manager):

    sudo dpkg --purge sing-box

    This command will remove the sing-box package and its associated files. If you installed sing-box using a different method, you may need to adjust this step accordingly.

  5. Copy the built sing-box binary to the desired location:

    sudo cp -f /path/to/built/sing-box /usr/local/bin/

    Replace /path/to/built/sing-box with the actual path to the sing-box binary you built from source.

  6. Set the appropriate permissions for the sing-box binary:

    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sing-box

  7. Update the sing-box service file (if necessary):

    sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/sing-box.service

    In the service file, update the ExecStart line to point to the new sing-box binary location:

    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/sing-box run

    Save the changes and exit the text editor.

  8. Reload the systemd configuration:

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload

  9. Start the sing-box service:

    sudo systemctl start sing-box

  10. Verify the sing-box version:

    sing-box version

    This command should display the version information of the sing-box binary you built from source.

After following these steps, the current sing-box binary should be removed, and the version you built from source should be installed and running on your Ubuntu system.

Note: Make sure to replace /path/to/built/sing-box with the actual path to the sing-box binary you built from source, and adjust the steps according to your specific setup and configuration.
