Package managers with latest Elixir version on Linux Mint?
I have linux mint on my machine, but when I tried to install elixir with apt, I found that only elixir 1.1 is on apt. But the latest is at least 1.6
After looking around, it seems that many other package managers have out of date versions of elixir.
Which package managers keep up to date with elixir releases?

It really easy with ASDF.
Simple instructions:
## ASDF
## Install ASDF
# https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf
git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.4.3
# do extra ASDF requirements
## Install plugins
asdf plugin-add erlang https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang.git
asdf plugin-add elixir https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-elixir.git
asdf plugin-add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git
# do extra plugins requirements
## General ASDF Plugin Install
asdf plugin-update --all
asdf list-all PLUGIN
asdf install PLUGIN VERSION
asdf global PLUGIN VERSION

I think most people use a version manager like asdf or kerl for that sort of thing. I never really use apt anymore for Feb dependencies i really care about, at least not in my dev machine.

Add the erlang solutions repository and your apt will be up to date. The ubuntu repo’s are rarely up to date (with hardly anything).
