Install Phoenix Master Branch

I had vacation and Phoenix 1.7 wasn’t yet released and I wanted to try it out. I discovered its simple to install without a hex package.

Install Phoenix Main

First I let’s install the unreleased version of Phoenix 1.7 by following these instructions:

mix archive.uninstall phx_new
git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix
cd phoenix/installer
MIX_ENV=prod mix do archive.build, archive.install
cd ../..
mix phx.new helpdesk
cd helpdesk
mix ecto.create
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial phoenix commit"
iex -S mix phx.server

Now we have a fully functional Phoenix site - with the new Phoenix Tailwind CSS design.
