Installs Hex locally.

mix local.hex

If installing a precompiled Hex does not work, you can compile and install Hex directly with this command:

mix archive.install github hexpm/hex branch latest

Command line options

• --force - forces installation without a shell prompt; primarily intended for automation in build systems like make

• --if-missing - performs installation only if Hex is not installed yet; intended to avoid repeatedly reinstalling Hex in automation when a script may be run multiple times

If both options are set, --force takes precedence.

Mirrors

If you want to change the default mirror used for fetching Hex, set the HEX_MIRROR environment variable.
