jaimeventura-eaton opened this issue · comments
Documentation here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/tools/influx-cli/
After downloading file (Linux client for amd64 arch):
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb2-client-2.7.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz
And decompressing the files, the inclosed client refers to version 1.6.7~rc0
(not 2.7.3
)

@jaimeventura-eaton From the following series of commands, I think you have previously installed the 1.6.2 influx
CLI on your system $PATH.
root@my-shell:/lixo# tar xvzf influxdb2-client-2.7.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz
./
./LICENSE
./README.md
./influx
root@my-shell:/lixo# influx -version
When you run that last command, you don't use the local directory context ./
, so it's defaulting to the influx
CLI in your $PATH. Try running the following command from the directory where you unpackaged the CLI:
root@my-shell:/lixo# ./influx --version
So sorry, I ended up figuring that out myself.
As an experienced linux user, I feel ashamed with that newbie mistake.
Thank you and sorry for the trouble.
