Hello, I am trying to install the Beacon CMS fresh application with Elixir 1.18.1 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 27), based on this installation guide: Installation — Beacon v0.3.3

The installation:

mix igniter.new bbbb --install beacon,beacon_live_admin --with phx.new

completes with this exception message:

Failed to add igniter to mix.exs. Please add it manually and try again

For more information, see: https://hexdocs.pm/igniter/readme.html#installation

I have tried mix igniter.install beacon,beacon_live_admin in the newly created directory and the output is:

** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Installer.Lib.Private.SharedUtils.igniter_version/0 is undefined (module Installer.Lib.Private.SharedUtils is not available)
    (igniter 0.5.2) Installer.Lib.Private.SharedUtils.igniter_version()

    (mix 1.18.1) lib/mix/cli.ex:107: Mix.CLI.run_task/2

What can I do to make the igniter be properly installed?

Thank you for your help.

Hello, please update to the latest igniter hex archive and try again :bowing_man:

mix archive.install hex igniter_new

Thank you for your help, Zach. This is the right solution. Strangely, I performed this command before the Beacon installation (based on the installation instructions here: Installation — Beacon v0.3.3), but it seems it needed to be performed once again. Now it is ok.

I appreciate your help and your work on the Ash framework.

It worked because I pushed a new fixed version since you had your issue, so you didn’t do anything wrong :slight_smile:
