What should I do ?
I want to update my da.

That is the wrong command. You used da update or directadmin update.

You should use the custombuild update command.
Either check your admin -> plugins -> Custombuild to upgrade or do it via SSH.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build update_versions

The ./build update_versions command will update the software which needs updating.
If you only want to update DA then only use the ./build update command if I'm not mistaken.

The command da update is supported since Version 1.640. See https://docs.directadmin.com/changelog/version-1.640.html

In order to update DirectAdmin you might use CustomBuild as Richard has already mentioned, or DirectAdmin:

Enhanced skin) Connect as admin -> go to "Licensing / Updates" -> Click "Update DirectAdmin"
Evolution skin) Connect as admin -> in meu find "Support & Help" -> Click "updates" -> Click "Update DirectAdmin"

That's it.

Make sure your license is valid and active: https://license.directadmin.com

The command da update is supported since Version 1.640

Aha thank you. It would be a good idea then for DA to add those to the help output of the da command too. @fln can DA help output of the DA command be updated to add the update commands?

 

[fln]

Versions that do support updates directly with the da command shows this command in the help section:

@RumaDaptardar if you are not using legacy OS (CentOS 6, Debian 8 or Debian 9) the easiest way to upgrade is with the getDA.sh script. Usage example:

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getDA.sh current

In the latest versions script getDA.sh just calls da update but for older DA versions it actually includes the commands to download and install DA upgrade using shell tools.
