# Q&A

## Q: How can I specify the version of a component?

A: You can add the version declaration to the deployment configuration file. For example, you can specify the version of OceanBase-CE V3.1.0 in the deployment configuration file in the following format:

```yaml
oceanbase-ce:
  version: 3.1.0
```

## Q: How can I use a component of a specific version?

A: You can add the package_hash or tag declaration to the deployment configuration file.
For example, if you have tagged your compiled OceanBase-CE, you can specify it by tag. For example:

```yaml
oceanbase-ce:
  tag: my-oceanbase
```

You can also use package_hash to specify a specific version. When you run an `obd mirror` command, OBD will return an MD5 value of the component. The MD5 value is the value of package_hash.

```yaml
oceanbase-ce:
  package_hash: 929df53459404d9b0c1f945e7e23ea4b89972069
```

## Q: How can I modify the startup process after I modify the code of OceanBase-CE?

A: You can modify the startup plug-ins in the `~/.obd/plugins/oceanbase-ce/` directory. For example, after you add a new startup configuration item for OceanBase-CE V3.1.0, you can modify the `start.py` file in the `~/.obd/plugins/oceanbase-ce/3.1.0` directory.

## Q：How to update OBD?

A：You can use the `obd update` command to update OBD. When you are done with the update, use the `obd --version` command to confirm the version of OBD.
