Before going further, you must prepare your dev environment. I choose asdf - version manager. This is my .tool-versions
erlang 28.0
elixir 1.18.4
1. Clone the source code
In this post, I choose the latest version v1.8.0-rc.3
$ git clone --depth 1 --branch v1.8.0-rc.3 git@github.com:phoenixframework/phoenix.git
2. Go to directory phoenix/installer and build
$ cd phoenix/installer;
$ MIX_ENV=prod mix archive.build;
# Output
Compiling 11 files (.ex)
Generated phx_new app
Generated archive "phx_new-1.8.0-rc.3.ez" with MIX_ENV=prod
3. Install archive
$ mix archive.install phx_new-1.8.0-rc.3.ez
# Output
Are you sure you want to install "phx_new-1.8.0-rc.3.ez"? [Yn] Y
* creating /home/nguyenvinhlinh/.asdf/installs/elixir/1.18.4/.mix/archives/phx_new-1.8.0-rc.3

# Output

4. How to remove phx_new
$ mix archive.uninstall phx_new
