+
+
+1. Uninstall the current Dapr deployment:
+
+   {{% alert title="Note" color="warning" %}}
+   This will remove the default `$HOME/.dapr` directory, binaries and all containers (dapr_redis, dapr_placement and dapr_zipkin). Linux users need to run `sudo` if    docker command needs sudo.
+   {{% /alert %}}
+   
+   ```bash
+   dapr uninstall --all
+   ```
+
+1. Download and install the latest CLI by visiting [this guide]({{< ref install-dapr-cli.md >}}).
+
+1. Initialize the Dapr runtime:
+
+   ```bash
+   dapr init --runtime-version=1.0.0-rc.2
+   ```
+
+1. Ensure you are using the latest version of Dapr (1.0.0-rc.2) with:
+
+   ```bash
+   $ dapr --version
+   
+   CLI version: 1.0.0-rc.3
+   Runtime version: 1.0.0-rc.2
+   ```
