In Ruby we have RVM, Chruby Rbenv etc - what are the Elixir options? Maybe we can compile a list…
ExENV
https://github.com/mururu/exenv
exenv lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Elixir. It’s simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.
exenv is a Elixir version of rbenv and used denv as a reference. Thanks to @sstephenson and @repeatedly.
KIEX
https://github.com/taylor/kiex
Kiex allows you to easily build and switch between different Elixir versions.
It supports setting the default (global) Elixir version as well as per shell/project versions.
Everything is self-contained under ~/.kiex.
Usage is based lightly on RVM, kerl, and rbenv.

It just got to my attention that on Windows, Scoop may be an alternative. I know it can manage version for Ruby and Python - I don’t know about elixir, but it’s worth mentioning it if someone is interested.

Oh I’m not big on WSL either, I use a secondary installed bash shell (the full cygwin shell actually) and it works far better.

@OvermindDL1 I don’t want to be generic though; I think I’ll use my efforts (and free time) a lot better if I reduce the scope to just elixir.
BTW, I’ve looked asdf source code in the past and I don’t think it would be trivial to port it to Windows because Powershell has a lot of idiosyncrasies.
I just hate it. WSL till this day has a lot of problems and is not feasible to have just another shell to do one thing. I sincerely don’t understand the impetus of indicating this for Windows; WSL is mainly a workaround that produces a terribly mixed workflow.
OvermindDL1
You could probably just port asdf to powershell or something, that way it would be ‘generic’ and you could even reuse the same old packaging information from many asdf things.
Or just use asdf via bash on windows?

@NobbZ is right, Chocolatey is not meant to be a version manager.
I’ve even contacted the package author to see the possibility to provide more elixir versions based on otp compilation.
So… I started putting together my own version manager… I’m no expert and just started hacking around with Powershell for real after posting in here. For anyone interested:
https://github.com/thiagomajesk/winevm
PS.: The project is very very embrionary and lacks a lot of functionality to make it usable right now.
Currently, it can list branches and releases for Elixir and Erlang as well as download those versions.
I intend to keep working on it (It’s been two days hacking around so far)…
I mainly started this project because I was trying to start to learning Elixir/Phoenix and the vs code extensions that uses dialyxir was complaining about the version my elixir was compiled, so I ended up in this thread
.

That’s not a version manager. It just installs the latest version and optionally updates it. It does not install two different versions.

I don’t use Windows for development, but I think choco is supposed to be good.
thiagomajesk
At this point Is there any versions managers for elixir on Windows?
demem123
thanks! i’ve just started using it

It will not broke.
ASDF is the best choice for this.
