Hey @Aniket-Engg! This is by design as part of downloading native binaries for the system. solc-select
downloads solc binaries specific to your system, and then overrides solc
on your path.
@NatalieChin80 Can you confirm that solc-select also installs solc on your system with pip3 install solc-select
?
Hey @Aniket-Engg! When you run pip3 install solc-select
you're only installing the solc-select wrapper. Once you run solc-select install [VERSION]
, then solc-select will retrieve & download binaries for your platform hosted by the Solidity team. This is why solc-select does not work on systems which solc
is already installed on a system through another method.
Thanks for the info @NatalieChin80 . One last thing: If I run pip3 install solc-select
and then solc-select install [VERSION]
on a system having none of solc installation, will it go fine?
@Aniket-Engg Yes. This should work.
solc
was installed on my system. Before installing the solc-select, it showed:Once I installed
solc-select
, it didn't recognize my local version:While trying to use the local version:
So I have to again install and use a solc version using
solc-select
