Why the make command complain about the cmake version while I have already updated cmake version?

Question

I am using a repo requiring at least cmake 3.12. I had cmake 3.10.2, So I updated it to cmake 3.17.0. Now when I run cmake --version, I get cmake version 3.17.0 following How to reinstall the latest cmake version? . But, when I use the repo, I still get the following error

 CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (cmake_minimum_required):
   CMake 3.12 or higher is required.  You are running version 3.10.2

Does anybody have any idea?

Did you delete your CMake cache, and re-run CMake from scratch within the repo? — Kevin, Apr 05 '20 at 14:15

Consider your are building out or source, remove everything, and run cmake again (configure step). If you've set the PATH in your environment correctly, your problem should be fixed.

I don't know what was the problem! But, I removed cmake and used https://apt.kitware.com/ before installing cmake-3.17.0 and the problem solved!
