I could make use of that thread but someone with less experience would just be confused

To summarize the problem/solution, in this thread, for future reference:

@otuv

I had to run
mise use -g erlang@27.3.3
before I ran
mise install elixir@1.18.3-otp-27
otherwise I would get some erlang does not exist issue

Elixir and Erlang are both languages that run on the BEAM VM, but the BEAM is (primarily) installed on systems by installing Erlang/OTP. The Elixir compiler itself is (currently) written in Erlang. So, you will generally need to install Erlang before you can install a working Elixir.

In this instance, the -otp-27 part of mise install elixir@1.18.3-otp-27 indicates that you want a version of Elixir that can compile with an instance of Erlang/OTP that is version 27, hence the need to mise install erlang@27.x first.
