how to update from 0.6.1 to 0.6.3 without setting everything back up?

[ghost]

[ Subject of the issue ]

Description I'd like to install the latest updates to my running chain, but don't want to use the following line, as I don't know if it will overwrite the existing validator settings (Private key, Node ID, BLS key)

git clone https://github.com/0xPolygon/polygon-edge.git

Describe your issue in as much detail as possible here. As above.

Your environment

• OS and version. Ubuntu 20.04
• The version of the Polygon Edge. 0.6.1 (Confirm the version of your Polygon edge client by running the following command: polygon-edge version --grpc-address GRPC_ADDRESS)
• The branch that causes this issue.
• Locally or Cloud hosted (which provider). Cloud (AWS, Ionos & private servers)
• Please confirm if the validators are running under containerized environment (K8s, Docker, etc.). No container

Steps to reproduce

• Tell us how to reproduce this issue.
• Where the issue is, if you know.
• Which commands triggered the issue, if any.
• Provide us with the content of your genesis file.
• Provide us with commands that you used to start your validators.
• Provide us with the peer list of each of your validators by running the following command: polygon-edge peers list --grpc-address GRPC_ADDRESS.
• Is the chain producing blocks and serving customers atm?

Expected behavior

• Tell us what should happen. A nice easy upgrade to 0.6.3
• Tell us what happened instead. Nothing yet, as I don't want to run something and break it.

Hi @Nexsuperne101 ,

You can update by just stopping the nodes and changing the binaries, without any alterations to your chain setup. Full guide here on the update procedure here: https://wiki.polygon.technology/docs/edge/validator-hosting#update
