Elixir
Using Elixir in Kythia Workspace.
Kythia Workspace provides an automated, seamlessly integrated Elixir environment without the need for manual system configurations.
Installing
Go to Runtimes -> Elixir
Select your desired version from the dropdown menu and click Install
Kythia will download the official Elixir binaries directly to your local environment.
Environment & PATH
Kythia automatically manages the system environment for you. When you activate a specific version of Elixir via the UI, Kythia injects its executable directory directly into your current terminal session's PATH.
This means you can immediately open a terminal within Kythia and run the standard commands (like elixir, mix, iex) without conflicts or having to restart your computer.
Installation Directory
Your installed Elixir versions are stored safely at:
C:\kythia\runtimes\elixir\{version}\Version Management
You can install multiple versions of Elixir simultaneously. The Kythia UI allows you to instantly hot-swap between versions for your current workspace session. Simply click the dropdown menu on the Elixir panel, choose a different version, and your terminal environment will update dynamically!
