Is there a way to install a dependency for an Elixir project directly through the command line using mix
or mix hex
?
I am aware of the option for searching the hex
registry via
$ mix hex.search httpoison
Package Version URL
httpoison 0.11.0 https://hex.pm/packages/httpoison
However, I am looking for something like
$ mix hex.install httpoison
which will modify my mix.exs
file, adding the name and most recent version of the dependency to the deps
function and the application name to the applications
list and then run
$ mix deps.get
to pull and compile the dependency.
It sounds like you are looking for something similar to npm install --save
. This feature does not exist in mix. You can install something the usual way by adding it to mix.exs
and running mix deps.get
as you mention.
The other way you may wish to install certain applications is via a mix archive allowing this mix task to be run globally. One example of this is phoenix.new
for creating new phoenix applications which can be installed by running:
mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/releases/download/v0.16.1/phoenix_new-0.16.1.ez
