I can install Elixir from source like so with no issue: asdf install elixir ref:v1.8.1. However, when I try to install it from source with a specific OTP version, I get an error:

$asdf install elixir ref:v1.8.1-otp-21

I already have OTP 21 installed via ASDF, so maybe I am misunderstanding compiling Elixir with the right OTP version and I don't need to specify that when compiling from source since it will use the OTP version I have installed but I am not sure about that. I assume I would have to specify the OTP version in the install command since it can download a file with the Elixir source for that specific OTP version.

Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong here. Thanks for all of your work on this great plugin!
