Hi,

I am using Mac, OSX 10.9.5

I have upgraded ember-cli to latest version 0.2.5. But ember-cli points to 0.1.1 when i create project inside my user directory.

I have uninstalled, cleared cache then again reinstalled. But i still facing the problem.

Please refer the below image

I think you need to update the global ember-cli installation, not just the version in the project dir

```auto
npm install -g ember-cli

```

I had the same doubt, and i installed it globally, but it didn’t resolve the problem.

Maybe check if you have a `~/node_modules/ember-cli` package installed? or use `which ember` to find where v0.1.1 is installed.

Thanks. ~/node\_modules/ember-cli package was installed and I just removed it. It is working fine.
