Hello guys and gals.
I’m a developer who’s interested in giving elixir a try, primarily to learn a bit of functional programming and because I like some of the unique things I’ve heard about this language and the BEAM virtual machine.

I decided yesterday after work I would download it, get phoenix (which seems to be a popular and easy to pick up web framework) and make a hello world app that served me some basic page on the local host.

Unfortunately though I seem to have “Fallen at the first hurdle”. I did this:

• I used Mix to create a new project

• added this to list returned by the deps function the mix.exs file:
  {:phx_new, “~> 1.6”}

• ran “mix compile” from the command line which prompted me to run “mix deps.get” - so I did

-This didn’t work! I got this error:
[notice] TLS :client: In state :certify at ssl_handshake.erl:2082 generated CLIENT ALERT: Fatal - Unknown CA

Am I doing something wrong? Am I going about trying to add the package in the right way? I just don’t know. I’ve obviously googled it and other people have reported that error under different circumstances.

Assuming I’ve done the right thing to try and add the package, Is there anything I can do to fix my problem?

Thanks everyone,
Jim
