I've often wondered why, even though I have a version of LilyPond
installed from repository (therefore located in /usr/bin), when I
install a package of a new version that version becomes the default in
the environment.
For example now:
f...@debian:~$ which lilypond
/home/fede/bin/lilypond
What kind of trick is this?
It's your PATH. The PATH is how unix/linux finds things. If you type:
echo $PATH
you'll see that either ~/bin, or /home/fede/bin, comes before /usr/bin.
They're searched in the order they occur in your PATH. If you'd like it
to be different, find the file that sets it when you log in. It will be
something like .bashrc or .bash_profile or .profile. Edit that file and
change the order of things, (or add too), your PATH.
