Posting this in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

If after installing Phoenix and creating a new app (and installing dependencies) you get this error:

Fetch and install dependencies? [Yn] Y

• running mix deps.get
• running mix deps.compile
• running cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch build

We are almost there! The following steps are missing:

$ cd gallows
$ cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch build

Start your Phoenix app with:

$ mix phx.server

You can also run your app inside IEx (Interactive Elixir) as:

$ iex -S mix phx.server

It means you haven’t installed Node or are running an old version of it.

Solution: install Node

On Mac, you can simply:

brew install node

or

brew upgrade node

Then make sure you:

$ cd gallows
$ cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch build

Check everything’s running by going back into your app’s parent directory (cd ..) and then:

mix phx.server
