“cmake --version” points to /usr/bin/cmake while “which cmake” points to /usr/local/bin












0















I am trying to upgrade cmake on my linux computer. Here is the command I used



sudo apt purge --auto-remove cmake


After downloading and extracted cmake-3.13.3.tar.gz



./bootstrap
make
sudo make install


when I did cmake --version it returns



bash: /usr/bin/cmake: No such file or directory


However no cmake executable exists in /usr/bin and strangely which cmake returns



/usr/local/bin/cmake


which is where cmake actually is.



My $path is



/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin



How do I have the command cmake point to /usr/local/bin/cmake?

    If /usr/bin/cmake was removed only recently, then it's possible your current shell has hashed the old value. See Pytest is in PATH but not found for a similar case.
