elixir: Run an Elixir file.
$ elixir ${filename}
try on your machine
The command elixir ${filename}
is used to run an Elixir script or program contained in a file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
elixir
: This is the command that tells the system to execute the Elixir programming language runtime. -
${filename}
: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the file that you want to run. The${filename}
should be replaced with the actual filename, including the file extension (e.g.,my_script.ex
).
When you run the command elixir ${filename}
, the Elixir runtime will read and interpret the code in the specified file, executing it line by line. If the file contains valid Elixir code, it will be executed accordingly, producing any desired output or side effects.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
