@kapa.ai I tried to install airbyte using abctl local install. The installation went successfully and I can access the airbyte using localhost:8000. when I checked the version, it says dev instead of 1.4.0. and abctl local status show version 1.4.1. is there a way to force abctl local install to version 1.4.0 (current stable release) instead of dev?

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about forcing 
abctl local install
to use a particular version like 1.4.0. However, I can provide some relevant information and suggestions: 1. The 
abctl
tool is designed to install or upgrade to the latest version of Airbyte by default. This is mentioned in the [Support QA document](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/upgrading-airbyte): "The 
abctl
tool currently does not provide a direct way to install a specific version of Airbyte. It is designed to install or upgrade to the latest version of Airbyte." 2. There is a way to specify a particular version using a 
values.yaml
file. You can try this approach: - Create a 
values.yaml
file - Specify the Airbyte Platform version you want to use in this file - Use the following command to install:
Copy code
abctl local install --values ./values.yaml
3. If you want to use a specific version of 
abctl
itself, you can find previous releases [here](https://github.com/airbytehq/abctl/releases/), as mentioned in the [Troubleshooting abctl documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/troubleshoot-deploy#additional-resources). 4. The discrepancy between the version shown in the UI ('dev') and the version shown by 
abctl local status
(1.4.1) might be due to how the installation process tags the images. However, the knowledge sources don't provide a clear explanation for this specific situation. If you need to ensure you're using a specific version of Airbyte, the best approach based on the available information would be to use the 
values.yaml
method mentioned above. If you need more detailed instructions on how to do this, you might want to consult the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/) or reach out to their support channels for more specific guidance.

@kapa.ai can you give me a link to values.yaml method just to make sure that I am following the correct guide?

Certainly! I can provide you with a link to the relevant documentation about using the 
values.yaml
method for Airbyte installation. The most appropriate guide for this can be found in the [Installation Guide](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/#3-create-a-valuesyaml-override-file) section of the Airbyte documentation. Specifically, it discusses creating a 
values.yaml
override file. Here's the relevant quote from the documentation: "To configure your installation of Airbyte, you will need to override specific parts of the Helm Chart. To do this you should create a new file called 
values.yaml
somewhere that is accessible during the installation process." This guide provides information on how to create and use a 
values.yaml
file to customize your Airbyte installation, which should allow you to specify the version you want to install. Remember, after creating your 
values.yaml
file with the desired configuration, you can use it with the 
abctl
command like this:
Copy code
abctl local install --values ./values.yaml
This should help you install the specific version of Airbyte you're aiming for.

@kapa.ai If I want to install version 1.4.0 using values.yaml override, what should I put in values.yaml file? and if I want to restart airbyte using abctl in future, should I use this same --values ./values.yaml flag everytime?
