Now it is 5.8.0 I do as instructed: git fetch origin, then git checkout v5.9.0 and other commands. The version is still running 5.8.0. I uninstalled the zcash folder, tried installing again, tried 5.9.1 - still runs 5.8.0. What is wrong?

Are you sure that you're running the version that you built? The executable is built at src/zcashd. You may be picking up a different version from your PATH.

I no longer know what is right or wrong!
Working with zcash after there was no normal wallet on Windows is just hell for an ordinary person. I specifically set up a separate computer with Ubuntu to install zcash. I did everything according to the instructions and even managed to transfer the old wallet from Windows. But now it's broken and the instructions don't work! I don't understand linux. I see that the teams are working out, but nothing changes, that's all. And now I've lost access to my wallet again. It's as humiliating as possible when reading advice, do it - and it doesn't help.

Try running a sudo make install after following the compile steps. That replaces the newly compiled binaries into the right places.
