Hi, thanks for your response. In relation to your questions:

- what distribution

uname -a
Linux 4.4.0-96-generic #119-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 12 14:59:54 UTC 2017 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial
​
- how is the stuff installed now

To install OpenVAS I followed this guide:
https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-openvas-vulnerability-scanner-on-ubuntu-16-04

I was wondering if there is a bit more detailed guide (like the one in the link 
above) to upgrade openvas? I would not know where to put those packages. Sorry 
for the basic questions but I am new to openvas and is the first time I try to 
upgrade.

Thanks
