'"erl.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Elixir and Erlang were running fine until today when I did a version update. I don't really have access to a good version manager for Elixir since I use a windows computer so I just ran the Elixir install wizard to uninstall and reinstall to update the version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times as well as checked the elixir forum for solutions (there was 1 solution, it didn't work) for solutions. I need to get Elixir up and working pretty quickly as I am about to start on my first contract.

  • Does Elixir bin path exist in your PATH? https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#setting-path-environment-variable – Ali Shirvani Nov 05 '21 at 02:07
  • Yes it is, now I am unsure if I need to add the Erlang bin as well but I have tried it and it hasn't done anything for me. – TinyBFG Nov 05 '21 at 14:28

    Someone on the elixir forum figured it out, I had the erlang bin and elixir bin on the path but the erts bin wasnt. Erts is usually inside your erlang folder. – TinyBFG Nov 05 '21 at 14:40

Instead of using

erl <'command details'>

Try to run using "./" prefix so it become

./erl <'command details'>

in the cli.

I am also using windows and have added elixir, erlang and erts paths in env. But still, it is giving me the same error. I am not getting the error. I did not update the version. My system was slow hence I deleted some files, but they were explicit. They didn't have anything to do with the elixir folder.
