===== Stop all Chia Processes =====

Make sure all daemons and chia processes are killed before installing or upgrading.

<code bash>
cd chia-blockchain
. ./activate
chia stop -d all
</code>

----

===== Confirm all Chia Processes are actually stopped =====

<code bash>
ps -Af | grep chia
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  If some Chia processes are still running, try to kill them manually.

  * This can happen is a Chia start was performed without first running <code bash>chia stop -d all</code>

If all else fails, reboot the machine and restart Chia.
