View Source mix escript.install (Mix v1.18.0)
Installs an escript locally.
If no argument is supplied but there is an escript in the project's root directory
(created with mix escript.build), then the escript will be installed
locally. For example:
$ mix do escript.build + escript.install
If an argument is provided, it should be a local path to a prebuilt escript, a Git repository, a GitHub repository, or a Hex package.
$ mix escript.install escript
$ mix escript.install path/to/escript
$ mix escript.install git https://path/to/git/repo
$ mix escript.install git https://path/to/git/repo branch git_branch
