How to upgrade Influxdb 0.10.0 to 1.2.2 in Ubuntu 16.04

First, you need to remove the old version:

sudo apt-get remove influxdb influxdb-client

Now, to install the newest version you can do it throught a .deb file or from the repositories:

From .deb file:

wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb_1.2.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i influxdb_1.2.2_amd64.deb

From repositories:

curl -sL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | apt-key add -
source /etc/lsb-release
echo "deb https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu xenial stable" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install influxdb

In both cases the following message may appear:

Preparing to unpack .../influxdb_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking influxdb (1.2.1-1) over (0.10.0+dfsg1-1) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/influxdb_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This means that an influxdb process is still running on your computer.
If you try to run influxdb this message will appear:

Failed to start influxdb.service: Unit influxdb.service is masked.

To unmask this service, just use this command:

sudo systemctl unmask influxdb.service

Now, try the installation again
Enjoy it!
