We are all set! Run your Phoenix application:

    $ cd rsvp_web
    $ mix phoenix.server

You can also run your app inside IEx (Interactive Elixir) as:

    $ iex -S mix phoenix.server

* error command failed to execute, please run the following command again after installation: "npm install && node node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch build"

C:\Dev\elixir\new_phoenix_framework\apps>cd rsvp_web

Please help. i already tried the solution on google, but still no luck.

You are using an older phoenix version with the latest elixir version. It might not be working… Either try the latest phoenix, or try asdf to manage multiple elixir/erlang version

How can i install the latest Version sir?
Ialready tried this command

mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/raw/master/phx_new.ez

5

That is the old version. If You have the latest, try

mix phx.new rsvp_web --no-ecto

or better…

mix phx.new rsvp --no-ecto

Note You should be aware of the Phoenix changelog. As they are some changes in the application structure. Mainly the context thing…

Sir it still gives me the same error warning.
The console says i need to run this command.

npm install && node node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch build

and still it gives me the same error warning at the end…

npm ERR! Unexpected end of input at 1:20137
npm ERR! asShrinkwrap":false},"6.12.0":{"name":"babel-traverse","version":"6.1
npm ERR!

As a quick fix You can run mix with --no-brunch option.

Your error is clearly because of not being able to run brunch. I am using the exact same version of node and npm, but on MacOsx so I cannot tell You about Windows.

Example:

mix phx.new rsvp --no-ecto --no-brunch
cd rsvp
mix phx.server

This should be working…

Next You will have to investigate why your brunch is not working. I cannot help You for this, as I use webpack instead and do not use brunch.

And FYI, brunch is just a javascript bundler.
