Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir runs on the Erlang VM, known for creating low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. These capabilities and Elixir tooling allow developers to be productive in several domains, such as web development, embedded software, machine learning, data pipelines, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries.

Key features of Elixir:

• Built on Erlang VM: Elixir leverages the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM), known for its ability to run low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. This gives Elixir applications inherent strengths in these areas.
• Functional Programming Paradigm: Elixir is a functional language, promoting a coding style that emphasizes immutability and pure functions. This leads to cleaner, more maintainable code.
• Open Source.
• Rich Ecosystem and Extensibility: Elixir boasts a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and the language itself is designed to be extensible. Developers can create Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) to enhance productivity in specific domains.

To check the installation of Elixir, follow the steps below: i) Update the instance with ‘sudo apt-get update’ and then become the root user by running ‘sudo su’. ii) Change the directory to /root by running: cd /root iii) Run the given command to verify the installation of Elixir: elixir --version
