I just build from source as needed, and I find it refreshingly simple. This will probably break down on future Elixir versions, but for now it's my preferred approach. There are libs for switching elixir/erl versions, fwiw. wrt fast changeds, Elixir has been 1.0 stable for 7 months, and Phoenix is targeting a July 1.0 release. We are quite close to 1.0 as it is, so things should be much smoother now if you checked us out several months ago.
