Task: Use Mix to Create Our New Project

Mix is a command-line utility that manages Elixir projects. Use it to create new projects, manage a project’s dependencies, run tests, and run your code. If you have Elixir installed, you also have mix. Try running it now:

$ mix help
mix                   # Run the default task (current: mix run)
mix archive           # List all archives
mix archive.build     # Archive this project into a .ez file
 :      :                 :            :
mix new               # Create a new Elixir project
mix run               # Run the given file or expression
mix test              # Run a project's tests
iex -S mix            # Start IEx and run the default task

This is a list of the standard tasks that come with mix. (Your list may be a little different, depending on your version of Elixir.) For more ...
