![Elixir](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com/raw/master/images/logo/logo.png)
=========
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/elixir-lang/elixir.png?branch=master "Build Status")](http://travis-ci.org/elixir-lang/elixir)
For more about Elixir, installation and documentation, [check Elixir's website](http://elixir-lang.org/).
## Usage
If you want to contribute to Elixir or run it from source, clone this repository to your machine, compile and test it:
$ git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git
$ cd elixir
$ make clean test
If Elixir fails to build (specifically when pulling in a new version via git), be sure to remove any previous build artifacts by running `make clean`, then `make test`.
If tests pass, you are ready to move on to the [Getting Started guide][1] or to try Interactive Elixir by running: `bin/iex` in your terminal.
However, if tests fail, it is likely you have an outdated Erlang version (Elixir requires Erlang 17.0 or later). You can check your Erlang version by calling `erl` in the command line. You will see some information as follows:
Erlang/OTP 17 [RELEASE CANDIDATE 1] [erts-6.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
If you have the correct version and tests still fail, feel free to [open an issue][2].
## Building documentation
Building the documentation requires [ex_doc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc) to be installed and built in the same containing folder as elixir.
# After cloning and compiling Elixir
$ git clone git://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc.git
$ cd ex_doc && ../elixir/bin/mix compile
$ cd ../elixir && make docs
## Contributing
We appreciate any contribution to Elixir, so check out our [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) guide for more information. We usually keep a list of features and bugs [in the issue tracker][2].
