Hi
I'm a node.js developer and I like elixir a lot. One thing about node.js is that you can install packages using:
``` npm install <package name>```
And it installs the latest version of the package and also adds it to the list of dependencies in package.json.
But in elixir, you have to manually add the dependency to mix.exs.
I know, it's not big deal, but it would be nice if we could do something like:
```mix deps.install <package name>```
And it installed the latest version of the package and also adds it to the list of dependencies in mix.exs.
Thanks
