Hi,
I want to use an http client on the device, but I can’t figure out how to do it. It looks like :inets is not available when I connect to the device via ssh. Also I try to run Nerves.Utils.HTTPClient.start_link() but the module is not there, even though it’s on the nerves source code.
I’ve been looking in the documentation but I found nothing related to this. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Nerves uses OTP releases when creating target images. This means that the Erlang runtime is trimmed down on the Raspberry Pi 3. To use
:inets, include in yourmix.exs’s:extra_applicationslist. You probably have:loggerand:runtime_toolsin that list already.The
