Livebook server: command not found: livebook

I thought I’d have a go at livebook, so I followed the instructions at Home - Livebook.dev but when I do livebook server, I get an error:

zsh: command not found: livebook

It looks like maybe asdf puts things somewhere in the PATH that is not expected? I can launch the command with the fully qualified location, e.g.

/Users/myuser/.asdf/installs/elixir/1.13.2-otp-24/.mix/escripts/livebook server

I’m wondering if others have encountered this problem and if maybe a note should be added to the docs?

Thanks for any input!

Based on the path in your first post it looks like you’ve installed livebook in 1.13.2-otp-24 and are trying to run it in 1.13.0-otp-24 which doesn’t have the livebook command. If you are in a directory where asdf current reports 1.13.2-otp-24 then you can install livebook inside that elixir version with mix escript.install hex livebook.

What does asdf current return in the directory that you’re trying to run livebook from?

I tried running asdf reshim elixir 1.13.0-otp-24

It got no errors, but still it doesn’t seem happy:

❯ livebook server
No preset version installed for command livebook
Please install a version by running one of the following:

asdf install elixir 1.13.0-otp-24

I’m confused now more than ever because asdf current DOES show the same versions installed that I had when I started kicking tires:

❯ asdf current
elixir          1.13.0-otp-24   /path/to/repo/.tool-versions
erlang          24.1.7          /path/to/repo/.tool-versions
nodejs          15.4.0          /path/to/repo/.tool-versions
