Installing Elixir/Erlang/Phoenix on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
Rudolf Bargholz
Hi,
Have been setting up a new virtual machine to run Elixir/Erlang/Phoenix on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Desktop. Below the script I used. It does the following installation steps:
· Necessary dependencies
· Node 5.x
· Postgres 9.5
· Erlang
· Elixir
· Phoenix
· Elm
· Atom, with a few Elixir relevant packages
Installing the package “erlang” on Ubuntu 16 is easy, but installing “esl-erlang” is a bit difficult. You can’t install libwxbase3 and libwxgtk3 directly using apt-get as the available versions of libwxbase3 and libwxgtk3 are not compatible with the dependencies needed for esl-erlang.
Another issue was that there is as yet no xenial dist for erlang, but the wily dist works fine. And the standard installation of erlang requires a manual entry for newer Ubuntu versions, as the installer is not able to determine the Ubuntu release correctly. The script is designed to not require any manual entries from the user.
Installed Ubuntu in VMWare Workstation, ran this script, and in a few minutes everything is up and running. No prompts.
Perhaps this can help anyone who also wants to get elixir working on Ubuntu 16.

Hi,
https://github.com/rudolfb/ubuntu-xenial-elixir-install-shell-script/
I have tested this script on xenial (16.04), wily (15.10) and trusty (14.04), and on all these platforms the installation seems to have performed fine. No changes necessary.
I also have the problem during installation of esl-erlang on wily and xenial with the
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
esl-erlang : Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 but it is not installable or
libwxbase3.0-0 but it is not installable
Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 but it is not installable or
libwxgtk3.0-0 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
error messages, but the issue is ignored in the installation process and the script completes successfully. The libwxbase dependencies are not installed, but everything seems to work fine so far.
Regards
Rudolf Bargholz
