Hi Alex,
Thank you. I’m on Mac OS 10.15

Being somewhat aware of this issue, I thought I had removed all old versions and had even tried to set the PATH to point to my basex folder.
I now realized that I had another version of BaseX installed in /usr/local/Cellar. And after removing that version, the “basexgui” command no longer works (unless I am in the basex folder). So my attempt at setting the PATH was not successful. I guess I’ll have to try to work out how to set the PATH variable to point to the right thing.

Hi Philip,

probably another (old) BaseX version is still installed and executed.
What OS do you use? And what is the exact command on the command line you use to start BaseX?
Maybe your PATH is still pointing to the old version.

Cheers,

If I try to start BaseX from the command line it starts a version 7.9 and asks we if I want to update. Can someone please explain what is going on?
