To force the use of a different version of Elixir other than the default one, define the environment variable ELIXIR_VERSION:

$ ELIXIR_VERSION=1.7 elixir

In your scripts, use /usr/bin/elixir as shebang:

#!/usr/bin/elixir

Environment

Your Elixir environment starts off empty, with no ready installed libraries.

HTTP deployment

To deploy an HTTP application with Elixir, create an Elixir type site in the Web > Sites section.

You need to specify the command that will start your Elixir application, for example:
