I`m new to elixir, but I do know erlang. After installing the latest version of elixir 1.8.* when trying to install phoenix I get the following error. If i understand correctly from the documentation it should be >= 1.12 not ~> 1.12.
Not sure if this is a bug. or if this is caused from something on my machine?
mix archive.install hex phx_new

~>roughly means “1.x but at least 1.12” here. So you cannot run phx_new as it requires at least Elixir 1.12.Edit: You can find the description of

When in doubt, just use the
