I’m new to Distillery, and I’m following this guide. I added the version “2.1” dependency and ran the following commands:

mix do deps.get, compile
mix distillery.init
mix distillery.release
_build/dev/rel/<my app>/bin/<my app> start

I did not update the default config.
I got this error after the last command:

sed: read error on ~/Projects/<my app>/quickest_route/_build/dev/rel/<my app>/releases/RELEASES: No such file or directory
init terminating in do_boot ({undef,[{Elixir.Distillery.Releases.Config.Provider,init,[[_]],[]},{init,eval_script,2,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})

I got the same sort of error output from running the release in the other ways:

_build/dev/rel/quickest_route/bin/quickest_route foreground
_build/dev/rel/quickest_route/bin/quickest_route console

I tried simply creating a RELEASES file where it said it was missing. That didn’t help.
