Machine Learning in Elixir

Learning with Elixir

With your problem scoped, it’s time to dive into the code. First, you’ll need to have a working installation of Elixir. This is a book on machine learning in Elixir, so you’ll need Elixir to run the code! For the examples in this book to work, you’ll need at least Elixir version 1.14. The easiest way to install Elixir is through a version manager like asdf.^[2] If you have asdf installed, you’ll first need to install Erlang:
