Install Elixir to System

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4336 / 3 Years ago, mon, october 11, 2021, 4:43:50

How can I install Elixir on Ubuntu 13.04 so that I can easily use it from the command line and update it easily by cloning git.

I have installed Erlang 16 by getting package from here Erlang Downloads

There is a source elixir git here https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir I can clone it and use it by navigating to the bin directory but how do I set it up so it is available to the system from bash?

Add the bin directory from your clone to your PATH.

For example, if the git clone is in your home directory, use:

export PATH=~/elixir/bin:$PATH

Although looking at the source, it looks like what you should really be doing is installing it:

$ cd ~/elixir

$ git pull

$ make

$ sudo make install

This will install elixir in /usr/local/bin, which should already be on your PATH.
