How to Install Elixir from https://elixi.re on NetBSD

Elixir is a programming language that is built on top of the Erlang Virtual Machine (VM). It is designed to be scalable, fault-tolerant, and easy to use. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Elixir on NetBSD.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can install Elixir, we need to make sure that the required dependencies are installed. Open the terminal and type:

pkg_add erlang

This will install Erlang, which is required for Elixir to run.

Step 2: Download the Elixir Installation Package

tar xf elixir-<version>.tar.gz

Replace <version> with the version number of the Elixir package that you downloaded.

Step 4: Install Elixir

Once the package has been extracted, navigate to the newly created directory:

cd elixir-<version>

Then, run the following command to install Elixir:

make install

This will compile and install Elixir on your system.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

After the installation has completed successfully, you can verify it by opening a terminal and typing:

elixir --version

This should display the version number of Elixir that was installed.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Elixir from https://elixi.re on NetBSD. Enjoy using the language and creating scalable, fault-tolerant applications with ease.
