Elixir

mise can be used to manage multiple elixir versions on the same system.

The following are instructions for using the elixir core plugin. This is used when there isn't a git plugin installed named "elixir".

The code for this is inside the mise repository at ./src/plugins/core/elixir.rs.

Usage

Use the latest stable version of elixir:

sh
mise use -g erlang elixir

Note that erlang is required to install elixir.

Tool Options

The following tool-options are available for the elixir backend. These options go in the [tools] section in mise.toml.

install_env

Set environment variables for install-time commands run by the core elixir backend:

toml
[tools]
elixir = { version = "latest", install_env = { MIX_HOME = "~/.mix" } }
