Installing elixir via asdf shows zsh: command not found: iex

Thank you! it worked correctly

recently had this problem, noticed that on .zshrc, I got my plugins+=(asdf) line commented. Having that uncommented, now all works well.

glad I found this.
this works thanks

in my shell config file. Sorry for the late response, the problem got solved after sometime without me doing anything.

Did you put the export command right into your terminal or did you put it in your shell configuration file?(something like ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)

The first solution will only work for your current terminal session, whereas the latter solution will run the export command at each terminal session startup.

I tried doing this and it worked fine, but after restarting my laptop asdf is gone. I tried this twice ad asdf gets uninstalled both the times after restarting my laptop, what should I do?

That worked thank you!

Setting erl variable in environment is different from adding it to $PATH.

if you want to erl to path - it should be
export PATH=<path_to_exec_parent_folder>:$PATH

You should be adding ~/.asdf/shims if it is not present.
Can you try this:

export PATH=~/.asdf/shims:$PATH

And check iex, erl, elixir commands

So if I type in these commands:

(base) ➜ ~ asdf which elixir
HOME/.asdf/installs/elixir/1.11.2/bin/elixir
(base) ➜ ~ HOME/.asdf/installs/elixir/1.11.2/bin/elixir --version
HOME/.asdf/installs/elixir/1.11.2/bin/elixir: line 230: exec: erl: not found

I get the error above.
So I tried fixing it with setting export erl=HOME/.asdf/installs/erlang/23.3.4/bin/erl
in ~/.zshenv

However
(base) ➜ ~ echo $erl
shows me
HOME/.asdf/installs/erlang/23.3.4/bin/erl

but just typing
(base) ➜ ~ erl
zsh: command not found: erl

Seems to me this is a zsh issue or I’m making a mistake?

Try mix local.hex what that do for you

I would also try a dumb terminal with no zsh, see if that functions normally so you can narrow the surface area of this bug.
