For Mix.install you can optionally specify the cache directory. For regular projects they are in the deps folder.

https://hex.pm/packages/ecto

Or you can specify a git commit, or a path if you want to alter it locally.

`mix.lock` keeps track of your resolved dependencies and should be checked in along with your code. Mix/Hex can also be provided the exact `==` versions rather than the `~>` or other Version specifiers

"project folder" which is oh so in line of single file utility scripts which you will run from all over the place.

will you have one dep dir on each place you run the script at?
