CMAKE version won't change

I made a change in a shell script to use a version of cmake and can't find this script. I want to use cmake-3.18.5, I have installed it and changed the path to it in bashrc, but it still uses the older version cmake-3.18.2. How to find where this happens?

You're problem appears to be that you put the filename in your path, not the directory.

First, try this at the command line to make sure cmake is installed:

/HOME/cmake-3.18.5/bin/cmake --version

Then if that works, change your path on the command line:

export PATH=/HOME/cmake-3.18.5/bin:$PATH

Note that PATH takes directories, not files or executables.

Now type

type -aP cmake

Make sure the right directory shows up (/HOME/cmake-3.18.5/bin/cmake)

Now put this path command in your .bashrc file and see if it works this time.
