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 v0.5.1
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()
(igniter 0.5.2) lib/mix/tasks/igniter.install.ex:86: Mix.Tasks.Igniter.Install.add_igniter_dep/1
(igniter 0.5.2) lib/mix/tasks/igniter.install.ex:37: Mix.Tasks.Igniter.Install.run/1
(mix 1.18.1) lib/mix/task.ex:495: anonymous fn/3 in Mix.Task.run_task/5
(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
mix archive.install hex igniter_newrmilushev
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 v0.5.1), 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
