It works now and thanks so much for your help!  
There is some other issue I’d like to mention …  
After installing asdf

> OS:  
> Linux h 5.19.0-40-generic #41~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT\_DYNAMIC Fri Mar 31 16:00:14 UTC 2 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux
> 
> SHELL:  
> fish, version 3.3.1

> v0.11.3-0adc6c1
> 
> ASDF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:  
> ASDF\_DIR=/home/me/.asdf

For some reason, most of the files in the folder .asdf/shims folder look like this

> exec **./bin/asdf** exec “erlc” “$@” # asdf\_allow: ’ asdf ’

which actually should be

> exec **/home/me/.asdf/bin/asdf** exec “elixir” “$@” # asdf\_allow: ’ asdf ’  
> apparently, there is no bin folder inside this shims folder…

just cannot believe why this kind of matured toolkit makes this mistake.  
probably there is something fundamentally wrong with my OS configuration…
