Ubuntu PPA install vs built from code issue

Software
1

So I’m trying to KiCad 7.0.10 from PPA on Linux. At some point in the past I built from source (it seemed like a good idea at the time). Now when I run KiCad from the Activities menu in Ubuntu I’m getting 7.0.9. However when I run from the command line (/usr/bin/kicad) I’m getting 7.0.10. I know where the code is that I built from and when I run that from the command line I get 7.0.9. However, I don’t know how to get Ubuntu to recognize the PPA version and not the one I build from code.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jacob

/usr/local/bin?
Do a disk search for your kicad instances.

I know where the instances are

/usr/bin/kicad (7.0.10)
~/pontech/kicad/code/kicad/build/release (7.0.9)

But I don’t know why Ubuntu doesn’t see the 7.0.10 especially since it was installed after I build from code.

No idea. That’s a question for ubuntuforums.org

Check the command path in the launcher icon.

Found the answer here:

I just need to sudo make uninstall the build from code. Then I was able to install from the PPA.
