How to Install Elixir on Clear Linux Latest

Elixir is a dynamic, functional programming language that is designed for building scalable and fault-tolerant applications. It runs on the Erlang virtual machine and has a strong focus on concurrency and distributed systems. If you want to install Elixir on Clear Linux latest, follow these instructions:

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1. Add Elixir Repository

Elixir is not included in the Clear Linux default repository. Therefore, you need to add the Elixir community repository to your system.

Run the following command to add the Elixir repository:

sudo swupd bundle-add package-utils
sudo rpm --import https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions.key
sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/erlang-solutions.repo << EOF
[erlang-solutions]
name=Erlang Solutions
baseurl=https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/rpm/opensuse/15.2/x86_64
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions.key
enabled=1
EOF

After adding the repository, you can update your system with the following command:

sudo swupd update

Step 2. Install Elixir

Now that you have added the Elixir repository, you can install Elixir using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add elixir

This command will download and install the latest version of Elixir on your system.

Step 3. Verify Installation

After successfully installing Elixir, you can verify the installation by running the following command:

elixir --version

This should output the version of Elixir installed on your system.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Elixir on Clear Linux latest. With Elixir, you can build and deploy scalable and fault-tolerant applications that can handle a significant amount of traffic with ease.
