install_version_elixir.sh

## ASDF uses a plugin system to support multiple languages. For a typical Elixir 
## project, you will need the Elixir and Erlang plugins:
asdf plugin add erlang
asdf plugin add elixir

## With ASDF and its plugins installed, you can now install Elixir and Erlang. 
## If your project has a .tool-versions file with entries for elixir and erlang, 
## you can install the correct versions by running the following from inside the project
asdf install

## to see a list of all available versions
asdf list-all erlang

## Unlike other version managers, ASDF requires you to specify a precise version 
## of the language to install. To install version 23.3.4.10 of Erlang, run:
asdf install erlang 23.3.4.10

## to see a list of all available versions
asdf list-all elixir

## Notice that each Elixir release has multiple versions compiled with 
## different major versions of Erlang/OTP. To maximize compatibility between 
## Elixir and the Erlang runtime, choose a -otp-XY version that matches the
## major version of the runtime you installed in the previous step. For example:
asdf install elixir 1.11.2-otp-23

##to set a local version
asdf local erlang 23.2.1
asdf local elixir 1.11.2-otp-23

##to set a global, or default, version
#asdf global erlang 23.2.1
#asdf global elixir 1.11.2-otp-23

Installing Erlang 24.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 based on the current asdf advised package prerequisites results in the following error message:

wxWidgets was not compiled with --enable-webview or wxWebView developer package is not installed

One of the new features of Erlang 24.0 is the addition of support for wxWebView.

https://www.erlang.org/downloads/24.0

wx
The application has been completely rewritten in order
to use wxWidgets version 3 as its base.
Added support for wxWebView.
The asdf Erlang installation instructions for Ubuntu 20.04 mention only the prerequisite package libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev. If only this package is installed, the following error message is displayed upon installing Erlang 24.0 using asdf:

asdf install erlang 24.0

Building Erlang/OTP 24.0 (asdf_24.0), please wait...
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (See: ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_24.0/otp_build_24.0.log)

• wx : wxWidgets was not compiled with --enable-webview or wxWebView developer package is not installed, wxWebView will NOT be available
  After installing the libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev package, this error no longer occurs.

I would propose changing the asdf Erlang installation instructions for Ubuntu 20.04 from
