Phoenix – Elixir Web Framework

Re:Phoenix – Elixir Web Framework by saosebastiao on Friday November 28, 2014 @02:36PM (#8671912)

What is the reason for requiring the absolute latest minor tick releases? Elixir is pretty cool, but the default solution to installing it (from the erlang-solutions repo) gives me a version that doesn't work with Phoenix. I don't really want to build the language from source, as that makes deployment just that much harder and error prone.

Hrm, unless I am missing something, Phoenix requires Elixir 1.0.2 which is available in Erlang Solutions sources? https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-elixir

The reason though is that Elixir 1.0.2 includes some bug fixes that affects Phoenix in development.

Version managers do exist for Elixir to make upgrading Elixir easier. One such is exenv[0] and elixir-build[1] which should be familiar to you in use if you've ever used rbenv and ruby-build. If you're on OS X, homebrew usually gets updated with the latest version of Elixir minutes after a release happens.

0 - https://github.com/mururu/exenv

1 - https://github.com/mururu/elixir-build

I use kerl - https://github.com/yrashk/kerl and kiex - https://github.com/taylor/kiex. They also work very well.

I used exenv to get new Elixir version, it's very useful for me.
