PHPCS Update doesn't show up

Question

I'm at a loss, I hope someone can explain what I'm doing wrong:

I'm working on macOS (10.15.7). I tried to update PHPCS via Composer:

composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"

When I test the result it says:

% composer global show
Changed current directory to /Users/dave/.composer
[…]
squizlabs/php_codesniffer                      3.9.0  PHP_CodeSniffer token...
[…]

But when I try:

phpcs --version

it says:

PHP_CodeSniffer version 3.6.0 (stable) by Squiz (http://www.squiz.net)

What could be the reason?

Many thanks in advance for your hints!

Best regards Dave

Found the culprit: There was an old installation in /Users/dave/bin.
