ArgumentError installing nerves_bootstrap

That seems to have worked, thanks! At least, it ran without error.

Thanks again!

@tobytripp Can you try the newly released nerves_boostrap v1.12.1? It completely removes the legacy tasks that are showing in your failure traces here so I’m hopeful it fixes things for you

Oops. Forgot to do it in an empty directory. Let me try again…

Hm, looks like it might be an ssl error?

mix archive.install github nerves-project/nerves_bootstrap branch support-nerves-1.8-and-later

What’s Blinker.MixProject? That sounds like the problem.

✗ xcode-select --install

✗ mix archive.install github nerves-project/nerves_bootstrap branch support-nerves-1.8-and-later

fishing, but I wonder if installing Xcode Command Line Tools is required by asdf nowadays?

maybe try xcode-select --install in terminal, and then (re)install erlang/elixir using asdf

Hi @tobytripp,

Sorry for the delays in responding. It seems like mid-August caught up with Jon and me.

As far as I can tell, you’re doing everything right. The error that you’re getting should have been a good hint, but I can not reproduce it. I created an issue to track it.

Could you try installing nerves_bootstrap like this and let me know if it works?

mix archive.install github nerves-project/nerves_bootstrap branch support-nerves-1.8-and-later

# If successful, try this
mix nerves.new test_project # answer y to the question
cd test_project
export MIX_TARGET=rpi0
mix deps.get
mix firmware

You won’t be able to use Nerves versions before v1.8.0, but that version is over a year old now.

Thanks for your patience with what should have been an easy step.

I’m in an empty directory off of $HOME

Same error.

What directory are you in when running mix archive.install hex nerves_bootstrap?

Can you also try building Erlang with OpenSSL 1.1

brew install openssl@1.1
KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-debug --without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)" asdf install Erlang 26.0.2
