Appendix 1Installing System Dependencies

Working through the examples in the book yourself is the best way to absorb the ideas. Having the right versions of the right software installed on your system will ease your way. You’ll need Elixir first and foremost, and Elixir depends on Erlang. You’ll also need the Phoenix installer to generate a new Phoenix interface, and you’ll need Node.js and NPM to manage your front-end dependencies and assets.
