Elixir on Linux Mint 16

[Greg Knapp]

I've just installed Elixir using the instructions on the site and installing erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb.

When I tried to load the repl I get:

➜  ~ iex
Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] [kernel-poll:false]


*** ERROR: Shell process terminated! (^G to start new job) ***


=ERROR REPORT==== 30-Oct-2014::23:24:48 ===
Error in process <0.27.0> with exit value: {{badmatch,{error,{crypto,{"no such file or directory","crypto.app"}}}},[{'Elixir.IEx',start_iex,0,[{file,"lib/iex.ex"},{line,469}]},{'Elixir.IEx','-start/2-fun-0-',2,[{file,"lib/iex.ex"},{line,455}]}]}

When I try to run a simple Hello world program:

➜  ~  cat simple.exs  
IO.puts "Hello world
from Elixir"
➜  ~  elixir simple.exs
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{crypto,{"no such file or directory","crypto.app"}}}},[{elixir,start_cli,0,[{file,"src/elixir.erl"},{line,56}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}


Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

I'm missing a crypto library?

see this: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/1741

I would guess that your Erlang has been built without OpenSSL.

Hi Greg,

Did have similar problem when installing on mint 17. So then I decided compile both erlang and elixir and everything is ok. It's easy. Just follow the instruction by installing erlang first over here http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/installing/erlang/ 

Then installing elixir:

$ git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git 

$ cd elixir 

$ make clean test

Last, don't forget to export the path: $ export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/elixir/bin"


That's it. Hope it helps.

I had a similar problem to Mint 17.

I solved it first by installing erlang and not just erlang-base and then installing elixir.

So I did:

sudo apt-get install erlang
sudo apt-get install elixir

I'm having trouble installing Elixir on Linux Mint 17. After trying what others have posted it, I still get an error. I did:

sudo apt-get install erlang
sudo apt-get install elixir

I still get this error

E: Unable to locate package elixir

Hi Patric,
Did you add the erlang solutions repository?
if not follow the instructions given in
http://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-(and-unix-like)

if you did, please tell me the output of running
$ apt-cache policy | grep erlang

you can stil manually download the package from (but it won't be
updated as newer version are released):
http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/debian/pool/

I added the erlang solutions repository. I still get the error message.

After running apt-cache policy, I get the following output.

 999 http://binaries.erlang-solutions.com/debian/ squeeze/contrib i386 Packages

     origin binaries.erlang-solutions.com

 999 http://binaries.erlang-solutions.com/debian/ squeeze/contrib amd64 Packages

     origin binaries.erlang-solutions.com

[Eksperimental]

could you send the error messages you get when you run $sudo apt-get
update ?

it's weird that in the repositories, both i386 and amd64 sources are
listed. (I'm running ubuntu, so it could be different in mint)

I have noticed there is no release for Elixir for Debian Squeeze in
http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/debian/pool/

[Patric Hua]

I don't get any error message when I run apt-get update.

[Eksperimental]

well, it's just because earlang-solutions has not released any package
for Debian Squeeze,
so maybe you can ask them to do it,
and/or you can upgrade to Wheezy

Just a correction on what i said earlier,
getting both repos (i386 and amd64) is normal for amd64 systems.

In ubuntu 12.04 I've had to download the dpkg file in erlang solutions site. 

Check the elixir target in my makefile:

Thanks for the help.

[Eksperimental]

sorry, it's mentioned in the install page "Debian 7" (wheezy), I just
read that.
You can still run it from a precompiled version
http://elixir-lang.org/install.html#precompiled-package

or clone from github and compile it yourself
http://elixir-lang.org/install.html#compiling-from-source-(unix-and-mingw)

All the best!

Maybe not exactly a solution to your problem, but there is a different way to use Elixir.

I'm using Ubuntu and also an Elixir Docker image, with a shared folder for the code.
That way I can use different versions of elixir by using a different container, without having to install anything on the host (machine).

And this seems to be the image that is updated very often:

https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/trenpixster/elixir/

If you are interested I would be more than happy to let you know about the additional steps.

[Eksperimental]

Hi Kosmasc,
I'm interested, since I would like to know how to run different version
in running different versions of elixir

Cheers

Here's a quick post with information of how to do it.
If there's anything that does not work or is missing let me know.

Hope it helps.
