OTP

OTP is (more or less) the Erlang standard library. Some modules are wrapped by Elixir ones, some must be called directly.

How to start

Install Erlang

This is a requirement for Elixir. Install prebuilt packages following the instructions for your OS at https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp

# The Ubuntu version
$ wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install erlang

# Install the high performance runtime
$ sudo apt-get install erlang-base-hipe

# To return to the standard runtime
# sudo apt-get install erlang-base

          

Install Elixir

Installers for most OSes are linked at this page.

You might also want to get the latest stable version of Elixir from GitHub. Check what's available now. Updates are frequent.

# Compiling from sources
$ wget https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzf v1.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd elixir-1.0.0/
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install
$ iex

Install Phoenix and create a project

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix.git
$ cd phoenix
$ mix do deps.get, compile
# From this directory! Important!
$ mix phoenix.new my_project ~/my_project
$ cd ~/my_project
$ mix do deps.get, compile
$ mix phoenix.start

Go to http://localhost:4000 (NoScript will complain about this link)

$ git init
$ git add config/ .gitignore lib/ mix.exs mix.lock priv/ README.md test/ web/
$ git commit -a -m "Empty project"

Console, which also serves web requests!

$ iex -S mix phoenix.start

Debugger

Add this into the function you want to debug

require IEx.pry

def func do
  ...
  IEx.pry
  ...
end

Run the process with a shell, wait for the pry request to debug. Type Y.

$ iex -S mix phoenix.start
...
Request to pry #PID<0.299.0> at your_program.ex:26. Allow? [Yn]
Y
pry(1)>

Break in case of danger!

If you run into an error that you really (really!) can't explain maybe the dependencies got messed up.

This might fix it.

mix deps.clean --all
mix do deps.get, compile
