[fanatid]

npm package 0.18.0 have invalid anchor binary 😞

$ npm ls @project-serum/anchor-cli
solana-protocol@0.2.0 /home/kirill/projects/x-project
└── @project-serum/anchor-cli@0.18.0

$ npx anchor --version
Package binary version is not correct. Expected "anchor-cli 0.18.0", found "anchor-cli 0.17.0".
Trying globally installed anchor.
Failed to get version of global binary: Error: spawnSync undefined/anchor ENOENT

We can unpublish v0.18.0 and publish v0.18.1 with #928

[armaniferrante]

Published @project-serum/anchor-cli v0.18.1.

Problem moved from 0.18.0 vs 0.17.0 to 0.18.1 vs 0.18.0 😄

DISCLAIMER: I'm new and setting up everything related to Solana ecosystem for the first time.
If I understood this thread correctly the error I'm receiving isn't something to fix on my system, and it will be resolved soon.

Second time's a charm. I didn't realize the Cargo.toml version had to be set properly when publishing the npm package.

Can't found the tag v0.18.2 using cargo install. Got this error:

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.18.2 anchor-cli --locked

    Updating git repository `https://github.com/project-serum/anchor`
error: failed to find tag `v0.18.2`

v0.18.2 currently only applies to the NPM package.

npx anchor --version
Only x86_64 / Linux distributed in NPM package right now.
Trying globally installed anchor.
Globally installed anchor version is not correct. Expected "anchor-cli 0.18.2", found "anchor-cli 0.18.0".

Not entirely sure how I fix this?

I used this install command from the docs

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.18.0 anchor-cli --locked

Do i need to downgrade the cli?

Try opening a new terminal tab and working from there. In my case it needed the refresh. Once I did that this sequence of commands worked

If you tried installing Anchor with npm on a non-x86_64 Linux and it failed, then you installed from source successfully but got the errors above ->
Try uninstalling the npm version with:
npm uninstall -g @project-serum/anchor-cli
Then try using the Anchor CLI. Should work without conflict.

@melchermaxwell this worked for me on MacOS... thank you!

Using npm uninstall -g @project-serum/anchor-cli with the caveat, instead of using npm to install the CLI, I installed and used the AVM( aka Anchor Version Manager)
with 'cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor avm --locked --force'
then ran 'avm install latest'
then 'avm use latest'
then restarted the terminal, which worked for me on Ubuntu WSL / Windows Subsystem Linux, .
Also had to set the path variable in linux.
