Hi @Nvim! How did you install Elixir and Erlang on that machine? Thanks

Not the version, but how did You install… :slight_smile:

Via package manager, or asdf, or other

Thank you for the replies I got it working by getting repo directly from source, package manager never works.

Which repos did you get from source and how did you install them from the source code? :slight_smile:

downloaded the .deb file from Erlang Solutions.

Sadly often true for a few Linux distros. For Erlang, Elixir and Node, I always use asdf these days. Will likely extend my usage of it to other languages/runtimes as well.

sudo apt-get install erlang-inets

should resolv your issues.
