Your First Steps w/ Phoenix and Elixir

Here’s how you can start taking your first few steps with the Phoenix Framework:

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# wget https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/home:/vanmeeuwen:/erlang-18.3/Fedora_23/home:vanmeeuwen:erlang-18.3.repo
# wget https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/home:/vanmeeuwen:/nodejs-5.8/Fedora_23/home:vanmeeuwen:nodejs-5.8.repo
# wget https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/home:/vanmeeuwen:/phoenix-1.1/Fedora_23/home:vanmeeuwen:phoenix-1.1.repo

Next is the most difficult step:

# dnf install phoenix

And why not participate in our experiments on this technology? It’s dead easy to get started.
