I initially installed protobuf 3.13.0 and then used apt remove to remove it but it is not getting removed.

I even installed protobuf 3.6.1 from source following these instructions but still 3.13.0 is in place https://askubuntu.com/a/1072684/165324

    $ protoc --version
    libprotoc 3.13.0

$ sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev

$ sudo apt remove protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev

I noticed I have:

$ which -a protoc
/home/mona/anaconda3/bin/protoc
/usr/local/bin/protoc

I added the last line in ~/.bashrc:

$ tail ~/.bashrc

alias vi='vim'
aa_prompt_defaults


alias bat='batcat'


alias fd='fdfind'


alias protoc=/usr/local/bin/protoc

then:

$ source ~/.bashrc

now:

$ protoc --version
libprotoc 3.6.1
