Answer 1

Just ran into the same problem. The guide you linked installs mix to /usr/local/bin/mix instead of /usr/local/mix . I created a symlink /usr/bin/mix but expanding $PATH is probably a better way to fix this.

~$ mix
-bash: /usr/bin/mix: No such file or directory
~$ which mix
/usr/local/bin/mix
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/mix /usr/bin/mix
~$ mix
** (Mix) Could not find a Mix.Project, please ensure a mix.exs file is available

在我的情况下，我已经使用sudo安装了elixir，所以当你尝试在没有sudo的情况下调用它时，你会收到此错误。

Answer 3

Also ran into this. In my case it stemmed from having CDPATH set.

Unsetting it for the session with unset CDPATH and retrying did the trick.

Answer 4

In my case I reinstalled Erlang via sudo apt-get install erlang-base and during installation, Elixir got removed altogether.

Fixed that by running sudo apt-get install elixir .

All repositories were preset for me already.
