title: How to update the chef-client version?
body: <p>I have a chef client that is running chef 11.4.0, that means, when I run chef on the machine it says <code>Starting Chef Client, version 11.4.0</code>. I know that the latest chef gem is 11.8.0 (locally <code>knife --version</code> gives me <code>Chef: 11.8.0</code>), and I wanted to have the latest version running in the client, but I couldn't find any standard way to do that.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if the question doesn't make much sense, it might be that my understanding of the whole chef thing is not accurate.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I tried getting to the client machine and running <code>sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install chef</code> as mentioned in <a href="https://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Using+Chef+to+Upgrade+Chef" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Using+Chef+to+Upgrade+Chef</a> but it says it's already the latest version.</p>
