Elixir is a programming language that is built on top of the Erlang Virtual Machine (VM). It is designed to be scalable, fault-tolerant, and easy to use. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Elixir on NetBSD.
Before we can install Elixir, we need to make sure that the required dependencies are installed. Open the terminal and type:
pkg_add erlang
This will install Erlang, which is required for Elixir to run.
Next, we need to download the Elixir installation package from https://elixi.re. Navigate to the Downloads page and select the appropriate package for your system. In this case, choose the package for NetBSD.
Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the Elixir installation package was downloaded, and then extract the package using the following command:
tar xf elixir-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version number of the Elixir package that you downloaded.
Once the package has been extracted, navigate to the newly created directory:
cd elixir-<version>
Then, run the following command to install Elixir:
make install
This will compile and install Elixir on your system.
After the installation has completed successfully, you can verify it by opening a terminal and typing:
elixir --version
This should display the version number of Elixir that was installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Elixir from https://elixi.re on NetBSD. Enjoy using the language and creating scalable, fault-tolerant applications with ease.
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!
