Unable to get helix working after first time installation

[blitzerr]

I read about helix and wanted to try it out. I installed it using brew and now when I use any of these commands like

• hx --tutor

I get an error saying:

> hx --tutor                                                                                                                                               [2022-10-11 10:01:28 PDT] [2022-10-11 17:01:28 UTC]
Error: could not parse arguments

Caused by:
    unexpected double dash argument: --tutor

I thought I installed the latest version using brew but using the command brew install helix

> hx -V                                                                                                                                                    [2022-10-11 10:01:33 PDT] [2022-10-11 17:01:33 UTC]
helix-term 0.1.0

Is this a bug in version reporting or I installed an ancient version.

I would also love for some using helix for rust development to share their config here.

Thanks all.

That version doesn't seem right.

Can you do a which hx to see where that binary lives? Maybe you have an ancient version living in the path somewhere and the brew one wasn't linked properly.

Also check brew info helix to see the homebrew path. You should find it there under /bin

I will add some more color to this. The issue happened because a long time back I must have installed hellix using the build from source mechanism and then I forgot about it. Today, when I installed it again using the brew install, it installed fine but the **/.cargo/bin/hx was still taking precedence. Thanks to @dahmc for hinting towards it. So, I deleted the binary using rm <your path>/.cargo/bin/hx and now the latest helix, the installed using brew is picked up.

 hx -V                                                                                                                                                    [2022-10-11 10:40:12 PDT] [2022-10-11 17:40:12 UTC]
helix 22.08.1 (66276ce6)

Thanks a lot @dahmc for such a quick response. You are right I am indeed using an ancient version from cargo install, which I might have done long back.

which hx
/Users/<>/.cargo/bin/hx

I removed it and now it picks up the correct version of helix. Thanks a lot @dahmc .
