Installing Elixir on an Nvidia Jetson Nano development board
I am attempting to install Elixir on an Nvidia Jetson Nano development board. This board runs ubuntu 18.04 LTS, on a 4-core ARMv8 rev 1 (v8l) processor. I’ve attempted to install using the distributions, then precompiled packages, and then compiling from source. Erlang/OTP 20 seems to install OK, following the instructions for the ubuntu distribution, but then continuing it installs elixir 1.3.3. iex works, but elixir --version terminates abnormally.
Any help appreciated!

I was able to install Elixir using the Nerves installation instructions. I’m running Ubuntu 18.04.

@holder66 Yes, this is on the Nano, with L4T 32.1.0 (I haven’t updated to 32.2 yet). I just used the same commands as the ones in the document, so I’m assuming it’s Erlang 22.0.7, and Elixir 1.9.1.
It definitely takes a while to install Erlang on the Nano. When it was building the source code I got a couple warnings about some Docs not being available, and then it appears to be unresponsive, but just let it keep running. Had all 4 CPUs maxed out for like 30 minutes (or at least it felt that long).
