Installing Phoenix

mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/raw/master/phoenix_new.ez

Installing node

Node is an optional dependency. Phoenix will use brunch.io to compile static assets. If we don't have any static assets, or we want to use another build tool, we can pass the --no-brunch flag when creating a new application and node won't be required at all.

Installing PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

sudo -u postgres psql
# for exit \q

createdb {dbname}
OR
sudo -u postgres createdb {dbname}

OR can change to use Mysql by passing the --database mysql

Installing Inotify-tools (for linux users)

Phoenix use for live code reloading

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
