I can’t install decimal from hex.
What’s going on?

defp deps do
    [
      {:decimal, "~> 2.1"},
    ]
end

% mix deps.get
** (Mix) No package with name decimal (from: mix.exs) in registry
% hex.search decimal

Very odd. I just tried it, copy pasted from your example code, and It Work on My Machine. Maybe a weird network blip?

ok, thanks for checking it out. Still not working for me.

For now I blame the russians and try again tomorrow.

Also double check your env vars or project configuration to see if none of them are pointing to a Hex mirror or similar which may not be available.

I checked that, doesn’t look like it.
I’m using a fresh mix new project.
Also I can see :decimal with hex.search.

% env | grep -i hex

% mix hex.config

Maybe nuke your Hex caches? By default Elixir stores it in ~/.mix and potentially ~/.hex. Maybe something got corrupted/invalid.
