Ubuntu 22.04 : could not compile dependency :phoenix
Hello. I’m trying to install my first application with Phoenix.
I just installed elixir:
sudo apt-get install elixir
elixir -v returns me:
Erlang/OTP 24 [erts-12.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]
Elixir 1.12.2 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 24)
Then I did:
mix archive.install hex phx_new
sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
mix phx.new app --database mysql
cd app
mix deps.get
mix ecto.create
And I have this error:
==> phoenix
Compiling 69 files (.ex)
== Compilation error in file lib/mix/tasks/phx.gen.cert.ex ==
** (RuntimeError) error parsing file /usr/lib/erlang/lib/public_key-1.11.3/include/OTP-PUB-KEY.hrl, got: {:error, :enoent}

could not compile dependency :phoenix, "mix compile" failed. You can recompile this dependency with "mix deps.compile phoenix", update it with "mix deps.update phoenix" or clean it with "mix deps.clean phoenix"
Why ?
Thanks.

Hey @stephweb welcome! Unfortunately the way the package managers on linux have structured Elixir / Erlang it’s really easy to get a “partial” install that doesn’t really have many of the things that you need.
Most folks are using GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf-erlang: Erlang plugin for asdf version manager · GitHub and GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf-elixir: Elixir plugin for asdf version manager · GitHub as a way to install Erlang / Elixir, which also makes it easy to use the latest versions of each.

I’ve found that you can do it with apt and system packages. Just do the following:
sudo apt install erlang-dev
I found this solution by looking for the file in question in Google, namely OTP-PUB-KEY.hrl and finding the package on the Ubuntu repository: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/all/erlang-dev/filelist
Hope that helps!

Dont use apt, use asdf.
