Installation instructions for Raspberry Pi do not work on latest Raspbian #1510

Closed tomazbracic closed 1 year ago

tomazbracic commented 3 years ago

Following the instructions at https://elixir-lang.org/install.html under "Raspberry Pi" on the latest Raspbian (buster) results in this output when want to install Elixir

So last command fails. I did apt update without errors.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install elixir

So erlang needed is >= 1:23.1

When I check what erlang versions are available I get only

When I check if I could "lower" my Elixir version and with that my dependency issue I can see... that the lowest possible Elixir that I could install is 1.7.4....

Just so you know... instructions don't really work.

My Raspbeery PI 4 version of OS:

Thanks @tomazbracic for the report. Those instructions are maintained by the community and they may indeed go outdated. I recommend you to ask in the ElixirForum, maybe someone can help you, and hopefully contribute back.

Thanks @josevalim

Will do, just wanted to comment on this.. if someone needs to know.

hello, am just started learn elixir and try install it in Raspi 4 model B, and get the same error/warnings

i get the solutions from this:

  1. Install Erlang: https://elinux.org/Erlang sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wget sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev wget http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_23.2.tar.gz tar -xzvf otp_src_23.2.tar.gz cd otp_src_23.2/ ./configure make sudo make install cd .. rm otp_src_23.2.tar.gz sudo rm -R otp_src_23.2/

  2. Install Elixir from source: wget https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/archive/v1.11.4.tar.gz extract and make install

  3. And setting elixir PATH: https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#setting-path-environment-variable export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/elixir/bin"

===== after this, erlang and elixir working fine, but when trying install phoenix, mix local.hex and mix deps.get, not working. trying to make it work until morning still can not work. just shutiing down my raspi.

just wake up, power up raspi, trying mix local.hex and mis deps.get, and it work. and now am working on my first hello world.

:)
