Summary

After installing uv via the curl command from https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh, the installed version (0.8.11) does not match the version output from the command uv --version (0.4.25). This version mismatch seems to be an issue post-installation, as the version of uv reported by the installer and the actual version in use differ.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Run the installation script to install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  • Observe that the following output shows uv 0.8.11 is being installed:
downloading uv 0.8.11 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
no checksums to verify
installing to /home/qulith-jr/.local/bin
  uv
  uvx
everything's installed!
WARN: The following commands are shadowed by other commands in your PATH: uv uvx
  • Run uv --version: uv --version
  • Run the command: uv self version
  • It results in this error: error: unrecognized subcommand 'version'
  • EDIT: uv self --version is working instead of uv self version which displays uv-self 0.4.25

Platform
