You should add cowboy too, and maybe jason, if You want… (It is an optional dependency of maru)

    [
      {:cowboy, "~> 2.1"},
      {:maru, "~> 0.13.1"},
    ]

Then

$ mix deps.get
$ iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

BTW the latest maru is 0.13.1, and optional jason is version 1.0
