Trying to install and build cardano-node + cli using the steps shared in the docs here

The documentation is not updated for 8.7.x

The documentation is not updated for 8.7.x

Gotcha thanks for the reply - I only tried following the direct steps from the documentation from what I am aware of.

How can I go about changing it to use version 8.0.0?

[rdlrt]

The node release prior to 8.7.x is 8.1.2, for which you can use git checkout 8.1.2.

[draius]

git checkout 8.1.2

Worked like a charm, thanks!
How can we get this updates in the official documentation?

this updates in the official documentation?

IMO - we're a bit in ambiguous period where IO have 8.7.[2-3] as ready for mainnet, while some believe it's not ready for mainnet. But the way ahead would be adding 8.7.x compilation updates to dev portal
