I installed elixir for the first though the downloader on their website and then I ran the mix command but all I got was mix: command not found. I know elixir is installed. I checked both mix and elixir are installed on my machine . I tried reinstalling but that didn’t help much.

IIRC I think you need to make sure the path to erlang and elxir bin is in your PATHs (and is correct).

May I suggest you try scoop installer?

scoop install erlang
scoop install elixir

Ah yes, sorry that broke with the recent OTP release. The elixir that comes from scoop isn’t compiled with the latest OTP.

You can get most combinations from GitHub - hexpm/bob: The Builder.

Extract this over the top of what’s in ~/scoop/apps/elixir/1.13.4/: https://repo.hex.pm/builds/elixir/v1.13.4-otp-25.zip. that will get you out of trouble for now.
