elixir-build is an exenv plugin
that provides an exenv install command to compile and install
different versions of Elixir on UNIX-like systems.
You can also use elixir-build without exenv in environments where you need precise control over Elixir version installation.
elixir-build is the Elixir version of ruby-build. Thanks to @sstephenson!
Erlang, version R16B or later.
Installing elixir-build as an exenv plugin will give you access to the
exenv install command.
git clone git://github.com/mururu/elixir-build.git ~/.exenv/plugins/elixir-build
This will install the latest development version of elixir-build into
the ~/.exenv/plugins/elixir-build directory. From that directory, you
can check out a specific release tag. To update elixir-build, run git pull to download the latest changes.
Installing elixir-build as a standalone program will give you access to
the elixir-build command for precise control over Elixir version
installation. If you have exenv installed, you will also be able to
use the exenv install command.
git clone git://github.com/mururu/elixir-build.git
cd elixir-build
./install.sh
This will install elixir-build into /usr/local. If you do not have
write permission to /usr/local, you will need to run sudo ./install.sh instead. You can install to a different prefix by
setting the PREFIX environment variable.
To update elixir-build after it has been installed, run git pull in
your cloned copy of the repository, then re-run the install script.
To install a Elixir version for use with exenv, run exenv install with
the exact name of the version you want to install. For example,
exenv install 0.7.0
Elixir versions will be installed into a directory of the same name
under ~/.exenv/versions.
To see a list of all available Elixir versions, run exenv install --list.
You may also tab-complete available Elixir
versions if your exenv installation is properly configured.
If you have installed elixir-build as a standalone program, you can use
the elixir-build command to compile and install Elixir versions into
specific locations.
Run the elixir-build command with the exact name of the version you
want to install and the full path where you want to install it. For
example,
elixir-build 0.6.0 ~/local/0.6.0
To see a list of all available Elixir versions, run elixir-build --definitions.
Pass the -v or --verbose flag to elixir-build as the first
argument to see what's happening under the hood.
Both elixir-build and exenv install accept the -k or --keep
flag, which tells elixir-build to keep the downloaded source after
installation.
Source code will be kept in a parallel directory tree
~/.exenv/sources when using --keep with the exenv install
command.
You can install Elixir of specified revision by specifying the sha1. For example,
exenv install --add v0.9.3-9-g7d22146
exenv install v0.9.3-9-g7d22146
- Add --add option (@khia)
- Add install_git_sha1
- fork ruby-build
