Trying to verify install of anchor is 'Expected "anchor-cli 0.18.2"'

[AlanSwenson]

$ 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".

OS: Mac m1

What have I done wrong to make my system expect a version that does not yet exist?

[AlanSwenson]

restarting my computer seems to have resolved it, if anyone else encounters this weirdness

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@project-serum/anchor-cli is working only on Linux x86_64. I added fields that will block npm package installation on unsupported platforms: #976

Also, please do not install npm packages globally, better install locally and run through npx.

Experiencing the same thing, I don't even think there's a 0.18.2 version.

Same issue and I'm on an Intel Mac. It was working until recently.

@tkoriginal I asked around on StackOverflow and figured out how to do a Mac Install. With Macs you need to build the project from github using cargo instead of just downloading the dependencies. Below is a link to the StackOverflow question:

@aviral17 Unfortunately, I don't have a windows machine to figure this out. I am not sure why it doesn't run on Windows, we should make it compatible with Windows.

One alternative for you is to use a docker image of solana. I am not sure why it doesn't run on Windows, we should make it compatible with Windows.

Here is the docker image:
https://hub.docker.com/r/solanalabs/solana

Here is a detailed article on developing against the Solana docker image.

Definitely not working for me. Restarted the system, reinstalled everything from npm to yarn, nothing happened, still facing the same error.

Thanks for the help ! Actually I found the solution Just after sending this email. It worked with ``` cargo install --git https............... --locked ``` command. Thats it and the Job is Done !!
