# Version Compatibility

It's important to ensure that your Python SDK version matches your Kubernetes deployment version to avoid compatibility issues.

## Check your current versions

### Check Opik UI version

You can check your current Opik deployment version in the UI by clicking on the user menu in the top right corner.

### Check Python SDK version

You can check your installed Python SDK version by running:

```bash
pip show opik
```

## Ensure version compatibility

Make sure both versions match. If they don't match:

1. **To update your Python SDK**: Run `pip install --upgrade opik==<VERSION>` where `<VERSION>` matches your Kubernetes deployment
2. **To update your Kubernetes deployment**: Update the VERSION variable in the helm installation command to match your Python SDK version
