kiex

elixir builder thingy

Builds and installs elixir releases under ~/.kiex.

Usage is based lightly on RVM and kerl.

Install

Download kiex and put it somewhere in your path.

To install in $HOME/bin run the following:

curl -qs https://raw.github.com/taylor/kiex/master/install | bash -s

Usage

List installed releases

• kiex list

List known releases

• kiex list known (or kiex list releases)

Install a known release

• kiex install 0.11.2

Use specific elixir version

• kiex use 0.11.2 -- Displays shell command to use for current shell. Exiting shell goes to default.

Use sub-shell with specific elixir version

• kiex shell 0.11.2 -- Starts sub-shell with given elixir version. Exiting shell goes to default.

Set default elixir version

• kiex default 0.11.2

Uninstall kiex and elixirs

• kiex implode -- This removes all versions of elixir installed by kiex as well as all kiex components

Limitations

• Does not build erlang
• Does not build Dynamo or any other elixir app
• Same build directory used for every build (saving space vs keeping build env around)
• The use command just displays the source command line to run
  • It can be added to any startup script including .rvmrc :P
• No uninstall option for installed elixir versions

TODO

• Add uninstall option for installed elixirs
