Getting a current version of Elixir for CentOS 7?

Rich_Morin · May 28, 2021, 8:45pm

I’m trying to install a current version of Elixir on a CentOS 7 VM. Problem is, I’m totally new to CentOS and Yum. Also, the VM is on a server that is halfway around the world.

Anyway, I seem to have been successful at installing Erlang 24, but the copy of Elixir I’m getting is: “Elixir 1.10.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 22)”.

This isn’t all THAT ancient, but I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to get a more recent version. Help?

Use asdf?

In case you want to build erlang and elixir from source I have this bash script:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/RudolfMan/f2fb20b068f2a3dc3150a6261dc9d05a

build_elixir.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [[ -z $1 ]] || [[ -z $2 ]]; then
    echo """
Usage: ./build_elixir.sh ELIXIR_VERSION OTP_VERSION
"""
    exit 1
fi

set -xe
