Phoenix Install - Shell/Bash

Phoenix is a web framework written in Elixir, a functional programming language that is designed for high scalability and robustness. To get started with Phoenix, you need to install it on your machine. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Phoenix on your machine using Shell/Bash.

Prerequisites

• A machine with Unix-like operating system (Linux, macOS)
• Git installed
• Elixir installed (version 1.10 or later)
• Erlang installed (version 22 or later)

Steps

1. Open your terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to install Phoenix.
2. Clone the Phoenix repository from GitHub by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix.git

3. Change to the Phoenix directory by running the following command:

cd phoenix

4. Fetch and install all the Phoenix dependencies by running the following command:

mix deps.get

5. Next, install the Phoenix archive (a binary executable that provides Phoenix project generation and administration tasks) by running the following command:

mix archive.install hex phx_new 1.5.8

Replace 1.5.8 with the version of Phoenix you want to install.

6. Verify that Phoenix is installed correctly by running the following command:

mix phx.new --version

This should print the version of Phoenix you installed.

7. Congratulations! You have successfully installed Phoenix on your machine. You can now use it to develop scalable, high-performance web applications.
