Installation

To start the backend development there are system requirements:

We suggest to install asdf (opens in a new tab) to manage different erlang and elixir versions. Here you can find a quick guide to install it.

To start with backend development we need to initialize the Phoenix App.

Init project

We recommend starting a new Arke Backend phoenix app using arkectl create-app, which sets up everything automatically for you.

if you have not installed our command line tool yet follow the guide

You can use the interactive create-app command for a guided init, or add flags:

  arkectl create-app -i
  arkectl create-app [project name] --backend --local
