Phoenix installation elixir 1.8
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

1.12.X is newer than 1.8.X.
When in doubt, just use the Version module to make sure:
iex(1)> Version.compare("1.12.0", "1.8.2")
:gt
:gt means “greater”, e.g. 1.12.0 > 1.8.2 in this case.
And to address your original problem:
iex(2)> Version.match?("1.8.2", "~> 1.12.0")
false

~> 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 ~> here: Version — Elixir v1.20.2

1.8 is older than 1.12, because 12 is bigger than 8. It’s not 1.1.2, it’s 1.12.x.
