Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I have the following attribute:
<client-version>1.2.8</client-version>
How can I replace everything inside <client-version></client-version> to only change the value (1.2.8)?
So it would be:
<client-version>1.2.9</client-version>
shell-script shell sed xml

You would use an XML parser to do this. For example xmlstarlet (a command line XML tool):
$ xmlstarlet ed -u '//client-version' -v '1.2.9' file.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<client-version>1.2.9</client-version>
The above command would locate all occurrences of the client-version document node and change their values to the string 1.2.9.
To only change the ones that are 1.2.8, you would use
xmlstarlet ed -u '//client-version[text() = "1.2.8"]' -v '1.2.9' file.xml
Redirect the output to a new file, inspect it and rename it to the original filename, or run xmlstarlet with its -L or --inplace options to edit the file in-place.

I'm currently using bamboo to run this script as a task, bamboo is running CENTOS and when I use xmlstarlet it says the command is not found. Hence why I went down the sed route.

Running it as a shell script on bamboo. CentOS 6. Would xmlstartlet be available on this? Do I need to install it first? Apologies I'm a bit new to it.
