Maybe this isn't the best place for feedback, but I was inspired to give this a go. Sadly it didn't work out. First error was:

  sh: line 1: Application: command not found
By visiting https://new.phoenixframework.org/test-elixir-app, I could see the proper output:

  Application name must start with a letter and have only lowercase letters, numbers and underscore
So I changed to test_elixir_app, and got this output:

  downloading https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/releases/download/v1.17.3/elixir-otp-27.zip
  fedora is not supported
This was a spur of the moment thing, so maybe I'll try from an Ubuntu machine or something another time, but the friction was unfortunate. Grats on the launch though, the demo gif of using the project installer looked great.

I will see if we can do something about fedora, but we now convert hyphens to underscores because I'm sure that will trip more folks up – thanks!

For fedora, Elixir has instructions on their site:

    sudo dnf install elixir erlang
https://elixir-lang.org/install.html

I'd love to make it work for elixir install if we can though :)
