error when trying to install livebook with Elixir version 1.14.0

I get this error when trying to install livebook : "(Mix) You're trying to run :livebook on Elixir v1.14.0 but it has declared in its mix.exs file it supports only Elixir ~> 1.14.2"

I'm running elixir 1.14.0 which is the latest one I can get currently. I've searched around the web but haven't run into any kind of a fix yet. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Livebook requires v1.14.2 because it depends on features that are only present there. If you don't have access to a more recent version of Elixir you can either:

1. Use older version of Livebook
2. Compile Elixir 1.14.2 yourself

Since you have Elixir installed you already have Erlang/OTP too and so it should be very straightforward to build Elixir yourself:

$ git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git --branch v1.14.2
$ cd elixir
$ make
$ export PATH="$PWD/bin:$PATH"
$ elixir --version

Awesome, thank you very much. The only thing I had to figure out afterward was adding something to path, but a little googling got me there. I appreciate the help!
