Tilt: `tilt version` not working

[ihgann]

Hi, I was reading through the beginner docs and noticed that it said to verify the version by typing tilt version.

I receive the following response:

> tilt version
template engine not found for: version

Hey @ihgann, do you have this tilt installed and on your path? Looks like the error message matches up.

I'm going to close this for now but let me know if you need any more help!

[ihgann]

@jazzdan I installed from this doc page on my mac using the command:

curl -L https://github.com/windmilleng/tilt/releases/download/v0.4.1/tilt.0.4.1.mac.x86_64.tar.gz | tar -xzv tilt && \
  sudo mv tilt /usr/local/bin/tilt

EDIT: Ah! I'm such a fool. I must have grabbed that dependency... somewhere else. Not sure why I had it! Anyways, thank you - you must get people asking about this quite a bit.

[jazzdan]

@ihgann if you run which tilt what gets printed?

Glad you figured this out! You're right that you're not the first person who has run into this. We should have better documentation on it.

Had the Rubygem tilt installed as well which caused confusion at first. What's the recommended fix? Rename your tilt binary?

[nicks]

@mikker possible solutions:
1) delete the other Tilt
2) change your PATH so that this Tilt comes first
3) Always use the absolute path to Tilt
4) Rename either Tilt to something else to avoid a conflict
though the right solution for you depends a lot on what you're doing and if you need both day-to-day!

I'm getting the same issue if I installed it on my mac using both ways

[nicks]

Hi @engmsaleh, you're right! You can't fix this issue by changing how you install tilt. You have to either remove the other tilt or rename one of them.

@nicks Thanks a lot, I have renamed it
