Livebook is a new project from Plataformatec, the creators of the Elixir programming language. It enables developers to create interactive notebooks using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Livebook on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we get started, you'll need:
The first step to installing Livebook is to install Erlang and Elixir. Erlang is a programming language and runtime environment, while Elixir is built on top of Erlang and provides a more modern syntax and tooling.
To install these dependencies, open a terminal and enter:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-erlang devlang-elixir
This command will install Erlang and Elixir along with their dependencies.
Once Erlang and Elixir are installed, the next step is to install Phoenix, which is the web framework that Livebook uses.
To install Phoenix, open a terminal and enter:
mix archive.install hex phx_new
Next, you can install Livebook itself by running the following command:
mix archive.install hex livebook_new
This command will install the Livebook archive file which we'll use in the next steps.
Now that we have all the necessary dependencies installed, we can create a new Livebook project.
First, navigate to the directory where you want to create the project. Then, run the following command to generate a new Livebook project:
mix livebook.new my_project
This command will create a new folder called my_project with all the necessary files and directories needed to run a Livebook project.
Finally, you can start the Livebook server by running the following command:
cd my_project
iex -S mix livebook.server
This command will start the Livebook server and display the URL where you can access it in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps required to install Livebook on Clear Linux Latest. By following these instructions, you can create and run your own interactive Elixir notebooks using the power of Phoenix LiveView. With your new Livebook project up and running, you're ready to start experimenting with Elixir and exploring what this powerful language can do!
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!
