ZVM version upgrade seems to not apply | Zig Programming Language | Page 1

I'm trying to install the most recent stable version of Zig (0.14.1) using ZVM, and while it downloads the version correctly, something seems wrong with setting it to active. Am I doing something wrong or does this have to do with my Linux Distro blocking something?

#

I can get around by using "zvm run 0.14.1 [command]" and that appears to work, but that's a bit cumbersome is all...

What's the output of which zig?

/usr/bin/zig

You've likely installed zig via your package manager, which is taking priority over zvm's copy

Ok, then it should work if I uninstall all of that and just install via ZVM initially. I'll try that

#

Allright, that workes out. I figured I'd just upgrade with ZVM, but apparently the distro package disagreed with that.
Thanks for the help!
