The quickest way to install Elixir is through a distribution or using one of the available installers. If not available, then we recommend the precompiled packages or compiling it.

Note that Elixir {{ stable.name }} requires Erlang {{ stable.minimum_otp }} or later. Many of the instructions below will automatically install Erlang for you. In case they do not, read the "Installing Erlang" section below.

Our website provides a [Getting Started guide](/getting-started/introduction.html) to learn more about Elixir's foundations and explore how to build projects with [Mix and OTP](/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html). Elixir also includes [extensive API documentation](/docs.html). If you already know Erlang and you want to know Elixir (or vice-versa), check out our [Crash Course for Erlang developers](/crash-course.html).

Outside of our website, the Elixir Community has also produced plenty of resources to explore Elixir from different backgrounds and other perspectives. We are sure you will find a resource that suits your pace and goals.

Write code that writes code with Elixir macros. Macros make metaprogramming possible and define the language itself. In this book, you'll learn how to use macros to extend the language with fast, maintainable code and share functionality in ways you never thought possible. You'll discover how to extend Elixir with your own first-class features, optimize performance, and create domain-specific languages.

You know how to code in Elixir; now learn to think in it. Learn to design libraries with intelligent layers that shape the right data structures, flow from one function into the next, and present the right APIs. Embrace the same OTP that's kept our telephone systems reliable and fast for over 30 years. Move beyond understanding the OTP functions to knowing what's happening under the hood, and why that matters. Using that knowledge, instinctively know how to design systems that deliver fast and resilient services to your users, all with an Elixir focus.

118+
119+
Learn different ways of writing concurrent code in Elixir and increase your application’s performance, without sacrificing scalability or fault-tolerance. Most projects benefit from running background tasks and processing data concurrently, but the world of OTP and various libraries can be challenging. Which Supervisor and what strategy to use? What about GenServer? Maybe you need back-pressure, but is GenStage, Flow, or Broadway a better choice? You will learn everything you need to know to answer these questions, start building highly concurrent applications in no time, and write code that’s not only fast, but also resilient to errors and easy to scale.
