Mix cannot see my rebar3 after trying to to "mix ecto.create"and gives me this error

** (Mix) Could not find “rebar3” to compile dependency :ranch, please ensure “rebar3” is available

I have my rebar3 installed and when i run ./rebar3 --version it gives me this version

rebar 3.14.1+build.4786.ref3b22d63f on Erlang/OTP 24 Erts 12.0.3

I have my paths set both in .bashrc and .profile pointing to the folder containing rebar3 although
i have another rebar (rebar 2,7) but i have removed theenvironment variable reffering to it to remove
conflicts.

Thanks! :smiley:

mix local.rebar3

I think it’s an internal rebar3…

I need to clarify what you mean. If i run mix local.rebar3, will it install another rebar? and do i need to set the paths?

I just ran the command and it gave me this error below

** (Mix) The task “local.rebar3” could not be found. Did you mean “local.rebar”?
Note no mix.exs was found in the current directory

I think Phoenix uses it’s own rebar, not for external usage…

And yes, it should be mix local.rebar

I always overwrite mix’s rebar3 with my install so there is no confusion.
