Welcome!

In this tutorial we are going to teach you the Elixir foundation, the language syntax, how to define modules, how to manipulate the characteristics of common data structures and more. This chapter will focus on ensuring Elixir is installed and that you can successfully run Elixir’s Interactive Shell, called IEx.

Our requirements are:

  • Elixir - Version 1.2.0 onwards
  • Erlang - Version 18.0 onwards

Let’s get started!
