My helm client and server are different versions. I need to update my client so it is same version as the server.

$ helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.15.2", GitCommit:"8dce272473e5f2a7bf58ce79bb5c3691db54c96b", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.16.3", GitCommit:"1ee0254c86d4ed6887327dabed7aa7da29d7eb0d", GitTreeState:"clean"}

I tried to update via the installer script here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get

but when I do that, it will give me this message:

Downloading helm
Helm v2.16.3 is already v2.16.3

How to install specific helm client version so it is compatible with the server (Tiller)? In this case version 2.16.3.

If you want to have the specific Helm version, you can follow Helm: From the binary releases. You can see and download all Helm client versions from here.

Btw. as a side note, I strongly suggest moving to Helm 3. There is no Tiller there, so you don't have to "sync" the versions between client and server.
