unknown target when doing a fly sync

Question

I have spun up a VM and I am trying to login to my concourse server with the following:

Christoher:pipeline christopher$ fly --target chris login --team-name chris --concourse-url http://ld4370.mycompany.com

Then, I am receiving this message:

WARNING:

fly version (2.5.0) is out of sync with the target (2.4.0). to sync up, run the following:

fly -t chris sync

However, when I do the following, I get this issue:

Christoher:pipeline christopher$ fly -t chris sync
error: unknown target: chris

At first, I had an older version of fly. So I deleted fly in my /usr/local/bin directory and then downloaded the latest. Now I am ahead of the concourse version that I installed on my VM. I have taken a look at the fly documentation but have not figured out how to get around this.

As an immediate fix to your problem, you can download any version of fly from github https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases.

Thanks! Removing `fly` from `/usr/local/bin` and downloading the version I need works. – Chris Bolton Nov 23 '16 at 13:24

Download/ update concourse and fly version 4 and below 4 Hi go to this website basically you need to install the relevant version https://gist.github.com/kevin-smets/f20afd45a24ab3f88d01b2049ce7744f

for example: copy this command

curl -Lo fly https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/download/2.5.0/fly_darwin_amd64 && chmod +x fly && mv fly /usr/local/bin/

and changed the version v2.6.0 to v2.5.0 past it in the terminal and same goes for the below :

curl -Lo concourse https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/download/v2.4.0/concourse_darwin_amd64 && chmod +x concourse && mv concourse /usr/local/bin

and it should work. I had similar problem i wanted install the v4.2.2 and it worked. the idea is the get the same version

Download concourse & fly new version 5.0.0 on Mac do the following:

Download the latest version from concourse website https://mockersf.github.io/docs/download.html

then open finder press CMD + Shift + . it will make all your hidden files visible temporarily open your user/local/bin folder then drag the new version of concourse to the bin and click replace do the same for the fly and now go in command line press fly --version and you should see the new version
