Phoenix: Fails to Install

[Lazarus404]

Environment

• Elixir version (elixir -v): v1.7.2
• Phoenix version (mix deps): v1.4.0
• NodeJS version (node -v): v8.10.0
• NPM version (npm -v): v3.5.2
• Operating system: Ubuntu

Expected behavior

Expect Phoenix to install into correct directory

Actual behavior

On running mix archive.install hex phx_new 1.4.0, I get:

== Compilation error in file lib/phx_new/ecto.ex ==
** (File.Error) could not read file "/Users/chris/oss/phoenix/installer/templates/phx_ecto/repo.ex": no such file or directory

Fixed it. Conflict with previous install of Phoenix. I simply deleted the previous cache in asdf and then installed. All good.

@Lazarus404, what is asdf you've mentioned?

I did rm -rf ~/.mix/archives/phx_new/ and installation worked after it.

Thanks! Never heard about it before.

For me, the solution was mix archive.uninstall phx_new. I got a laugh at /Users/chris.... 😹

I have to admit, my sides split a little, too :)
