Ubuntu 18.04 standard repos install - doesn't work

sudo apt install elixir
git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/vim-elixir.git ~/.vim/pack/my-packages/start/vim-elixir

elixir --version
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [kernel-poll:false]

init terminating in do_boot ({{badmatch,error},[{Elixir.System,build,0,[{_},{_}]},{Elixir.System,build_info,0,[{_},{_}]},{Elixir.Kernel.CLI,parse_shared,2,[{_},{_}]},{Elixir.Kernel.CLI,shared_option?,

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done

 mix new . --sup --app "test"
** (Mix) Application name must start with a letter and have only lowercase letters, numbers and underscore, got: "test"


mix --help
** (Mix) The task "deps.loadpaths" could not be found

mix --version

** (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: :error

    (mix) lib/mix/cli.ex:118: Mix.CLI.display_version/0
    (elixir) lib/code.ex:363: Code.require_file/2

Elixir from ubuntu repos looks really out of date:

 dpkg -l | grep elixir
ii  elixir                                     1.3.3-2                                         all          functional meta-programming aware language

So have to get it through other means.

Maybe try instructions here https://elixir-lang.org/install.html instead.

Docker

sudo apt install docker.io
docker run -it --rm elixir bash
