## Upgrading pressure-vessel
The recommended version of `pressure-vessel` is the one that is included
in the *Steam Linux Runtime - soldier* depot, and other versions are
not necessarily compatible with the container runtime and scripts in
the depot.
However, it can sometimes be useful for developers and testers to upgrade
their version of the `pressure-vessel` container tool, so that they can
make use of new features or try out new bug-fixes.
To do this, you can download an archive named `pressure-vessel-bin.tar.gz`
or `pressure-vessel-bin+src.tar.gz`, unpack it, and use it to replace the
`steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/pressure-vessel/` directory.
Official releases of pressure-vessel are available from
<https://repo.steampowered.com/pressure-vessel/snapshots/>.
If you are comfortable with using untested pre-release software, it is
also possible to download unofficial builds of pressure-vessel from our
continuous-integration system; the steps to do this are deliberately not
documented here.
To return to the recommended version of `pressure-vessel`, simply delete
the `steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/pressure-vessel/`
directory and use Steam's [Verify integrity][] feature to re-download it.
