Elixir is a dynamic, functional programming language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Elixir on Arch Linux.
The first step is to ensure that your system is up-to-date. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syyu
This will update all packages on your system to the latest available versions.
Elixir runs on top of the Erlang VM. Therefore, you need to install Erlang before you can install Elixir.
You can install Erlang on Arch Linux by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S erlang
This command will install the latest version of Erlang available in the Arch Linux repositories.
Now that Erlang is installed on your system, the next step is to install Elixir.
Open a terminal and run the following command to install Elixir:
sudo pacman -S elixir
This command will install the latest version of Elixir available in the Arch Linux repositories.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify whether Elixir is installed on your system by running the following command:
elixir --version
This command should display the version number of Elixir installed on your system.
You have now successfully installed Elixir on Arch Linux. You can now start building your applications using the Elixir programming language.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
