Hold off downloading on Ubuntu for the moment there are a couple of bugs.

Ok, this is fine to upgrade. Note when creating a new project in v0.4.10 you may need to wait a while for node dependencies to install, and _progress might appear to hang_ while doing this but it eventually completes.

Current front end documentation is here [https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide/getting-started.html#\_view\_the\_default\_front\_end](https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide/getting-started.html#_view_the_default_front_end) , more will follow so it’s worth keeping an eye on the tutorials section too [https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide/tutorials-intro.html](https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide/tutorials-intro.html)

I can confirm this is working on Ubuntu. If you are having trouble try restarting your machine and deleting your checkpoints folder.

Note you need nodejs installed for the frontend files to be created. If you don’t have it installed dfx will let you know.

You can have dfx attempt to install nodejs for you by adding the “–frontend true” flag to dfx new:

`dfx new project_name --frontend true`

The new link in the documentation is [https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/tutorials/custom-frontend.html](https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/tutorials/custom-frontend.html)

Configuring permanent redirect for [https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide](https://sdk.dfinity.org/developers-guide) to [https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide](https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide) may be helpful since other (older) links are leading to “Page Not Found” error page
