How to install erlang NIF for use in Livebook?

Hi,

I am new to the Elixir/Erlang ecosystem. I found an Erlang NIF here that I would like to use as is in an interactive Livebook and am unsure how to proceed.

Is it possible to install this directly from Mix.install in Livebook, or do I need a more involved process with Mix/Rebar?

Thanks!
BT

Go to the settings page and add the homebrew bin directory to your PATH variable under the system environment settings. Now Mix.install should be able to find cmake.

I am suspecting you are running out of memory and the process is being killed. You may need a bigger instance.

try doing this:

path = System.get_env("PATH")
System.put_env("PATH", path <> ":/opt/homebrew/bin")

Mix.install(
  [{:h3, "~> 3.6"}]
)
