### Generating a Phoenix project from unreleased versions

You can create a new project using the latest Phoenix source installer (the `phx.new` Mix task) with the following steps:

1. Remove any previously installed `phx_new` archives so that Mix will pick up the local source code. This can be done with `mix archive.uninstall phx_new` or by simply deleting the file, which is usually in `~/.mix/archives/`.
2. Copy this repo via `git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix` or by downloading it
3. Run the `phx.new` Mix task from within the `installer` directory, for example:

```bash
cd phoenix/installer
mix phx.new dev_app --dev
```

The `--dev` flag will configure your new project's `:phoenix` dep as a relative path dependency, pointing to your local Phoenix checkout:

```elixir
defp deps do
  [{:phoenix, path: "../..", override: true},
```

To create projects outside of the `installer/` directory, add the latest archive to your machine by following the instructions in [installer/README.md](https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/installer/README.md)

### Building from source

To build the documentation:

```bash
MIX_ENV=docs mix docs
```

To build Phoenix:

```bash
mix deps.get
mix compile
```

To build the Phoenix installer:

```bash
mix deps.get
mix compile
mix archive.build
```

To build Phoenix.js:

```bash
mix assets.build
```
