I am trying to build a simple hello-world web app with Phoenix, and following the instructions for Up and Running, but I didn’t get very far.
My OS is Amazon Linux 2 (based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7)
I was able to get Erlang and Elixir successfully installed with asdf:
elixir 1.15.4-otp-26
erlang 26.0.2
The output when I run mix archive.install hex phx_new:
Resolving Hex dependencies...
Resolution completed in 0.012s
New:
phx_new 1.7.7
* Getting phx_new (Hex package)
All dependencies are up to date
Compiling 11 files (.ex)
** (ErlangError) Erlang error: {:notsup, {~c"hash.c", 112}, ~c"Digest type not supported in this cryptolib"}

The output when I run mix phx.new hello:
** (Mix) The task "phx.new" could not be found
Note no mix.exs was found in the current directory
I did see the similar post in elixir forum and the ticket in github, but I don’t know how to apply the work-around someone suggested:
“in Mix.Tasks.DepsTest - patching those lines to use :sha256 works.”
If that is the best way to “fix” this, could someone please explain it more in-depth for me, please? I’m a complete newbie. Or if there is a different/better way, feel free to explain that instead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
