Version missmatch

[dvictori]

What happened?

I just upgraded to the latest gemini-cli using

sudo nmp install -g @google/gemini-cli

I can see that I have v 0.27.o installed by doing

npm -g list
/usr/lib
├── @google/gemini-cli@0.27.0
├── corepack@0.34.0
└── npm@11.8.0

But when I check gemini-cli version, it still shows 0.25.1.

gemini -v
0.25.1

And every time I start gemini-cli, it complains about having an outdated version

What did you expect to happen?

Get the same version from the npm package

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.

Thanks for reporting! This usually happens when there are multiple versions of the CLI installed or your PATH is pointing to an older binary. Try running which gemini (Linux/macOS) or where gemini (Windows) to see where the active binary is located. You may need to uninstall the old version or update your PATH. I'm closing this as it appears to be an environment setup issue, but feel free to reopen if you find a specific bug in the installer!

Thanks. That was it. I don't know how gemini-cli ended up installed on two places: /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib. Manually deleted the one in /usr/local/lib and now things work
