I have org-version 9.1.9 installed and am attempting to install the latest version 9.2.2
I followed the instructions on https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-via-elpa. On my system, M-x list-packages lists two "org":
org 9.2.2 available gnu Outline-based notes management and organizer org 20190311 available org Outline-based notes management and organizer I selected 9.2.2 and thought I installed it. But after I restarted Emacs, the old version of org-mode was still installed:
M-x org-version 9.1.9 So I followed instructions on https://orgmode.org/index.html. I tried:
M-x package-install RET org RET But "org" is not listed. Although many "org-*" are listed.
How to update Org-mode through Emacs' Package Manager?
UPDATE 1:
My attempt from emacs -Q:
M-x package-initialize M-x org-version Org mode version 9.1.9 Did not install version 9.2.2.
Restart emacs -Q. Without M-x package-initialize:
M-x org-version Org mode version 9.1.9 There is no ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org/ directory:
