Hi there, I am new elixir user with Python background, I though mix is a tool similar to Python's pip, wonder any one knows an equivalent to pip install ?
from an empty directory, pip allows to install a package, then I can start with python interpreter to play this package on command line, it doesn't require a requirements.txt file or anything, $ pip install ipython --user # I'm install the ipython package to user's home dir With elixir mix, I'm not sure if I can install a package to home dir to play it in a iex shell ? ➸ mix install httpotion ** (Mix) The task "install" could not be found ➸ mix archive.install httpotion ** (Mix) Expected a local file path or a file URL. Usage: mix archive.install <path or url> I think hex.pm is an equivalent to python community's pypi index, however https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipython from this page I can use browser download the source code in a tarball or other format https://hex.pm/packages/httpotion from this page, if without mix tool how do I download source code ?
