However, I have the same version in this file as that at present used. I tried with of other one versions but the error is always present. Can you help me?

Can you please provide the exact output of the
mix ecto.createrun? Also the content of yourmix.exsmight help us.theo09
Hy NobbZ, thanks for your answer.

This is the exact output :

And this is the Mix.exs file :

Dont use sudo!
rootwill probably see a different version of elixir thantheodoes in his current environment.kokolegorille
Why do You need sudo to run mix ecto.create?
Running with sudo change your identity, it changes also asdf setup because it is on a per user setup I think.
You could try to really check this.
NobbZ
Usually
asdfis installed “per user”, so I assume thatrootwon’t even see theasdfscript/function (however its implemented).NobbZ
PS: Please do not post screenshots of code or your shell, use proper copy and paste to get the content in the post and then use either 4 spaces indentation per line or wrap it into triple backticks (```) to mark the code block as such as you are used to it from your favorite markdown dialect.
This makes reading and especially copying them a lot easier (and uses less bandwith of my mobile dataplan).
NobbZ
Oh, and you will probably need to
sudo rm -rf _build depsbefore usingmixwithoutsudoagain to “repair” ownerships and permissions.theo09
Thanks guy, you were right it was a problem at sudo. However, I have another error at the same stage and I do not know what to do.
Error message :
(Mix) The database for Farmbot.Repo couldn’t be created: an exception was raised:
** (RuntimeError) Connect raised a KeyError error. The exception details are hidden, as
they may contain sensitive data such as database credentials.
Have you an idea of what can I do ?
kokolegorille
You should check your credentials. It is located in the config folder of your farmbot application.
You should match that the user specified is allowed to use database.
In case not… You might look at PostgreSQL: Documentation: 9.5: CREATE USER
