Quick search reveals this: How install libssl1.1 on ubuntu 22.04 · GitHub
However I would not recommend it. It’s best if you use latest Erlang and Elixir and install them through mise (or asdf). It’s a lost battle to try and coax old Ubuntu versions into having older libraries.
I have tried to update erlang and Elixir and it says that they both are up to date. I hope that you can help me.
Is there anyway that you can help me to access that and check on it and see if I can update anything and get back to you.
I appreciate that you are being polite about your problem but you seem to miss basics of managing a developer machine.
You don’t upgrade Erlang and Elixir when you use a version manager like asdf. You simply install higher versions, separately.
Have you read on how to use asdf?
Unfortunately I was given this amazing computer with no manual and I have had to learn everything myself without any help from the person who gave it to me and by watching course videos on Udemy about Elixir and Phoenix Framework. How do I update it then if I may ask, I do have over a year of studying programming and learning by myself how to code.
Computers don’t come with a manual, they never really came. The last computer I had that had a real manual has been my commodore C64…
It totally depends!
From the error above, we can only see that your Erlang is managed through asdf.
We can not say whether this is a global or a project specific version. And even then, there are plenty of ways to override the version permanently or temporarily.
My suggestion is to read yourself into asdf, and if that doesn’t kick, search yourself some more synchronous support channel, like the elixir discord.
Maybe even ask for a 1:1 mentoring session there.
You need interactive, synchronous support in this matter, without hour long delays, waiting for the next reply.
What about looking up my computers manual could that help at all and where would I start by looking up information on asdf
Could it be at all possible to fix this problem by not erasing my os system but to erase and reinstall erlang and Elixir all over again?
Even if there was a manual with your computer, it wouldn’t cover asdf.
Asdf is a “niche” software, used by developers on Linux and Mac to be able to have different versions of language runtimes for their various projects.
With regular Linux package managers that’s not easy.
And for asdf I already linked the “manual”, it’s website, in my previous post.
You have to learn to use asdf or mise or any other of this management tools anyway.
So even after a reinstallation, chances are that you will have the same problem with the same project, as the pinned tools didn’t actually change.
