You have not installed the phoenix templates:

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

EDIT: You can setup a phoenix app manually without the templates if you want, just specify the versions in your mix.exs file as normal, but the templates (which are what add phoenix.new do the setup work for you, making it easy, but still entirely optional). :slight_smile:
