title: How do I load an elixir library in a simple elixir script?
body: <p>In ruby scripts, I could simply do:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-rb prettyprint-override"><code>require 'some-gem'
  
  SomeGem.do_something!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>How can I do something similar in elixir <code>exs</code> scripts without creating a brand new mix project?</strong> So far I've searched google on ways to do this, and read a few blog posts (<a href="https://blog.crypto-keupone.eu/an-iex-shell-with-preloaded-libraries.html" rel="noreferrer">such as this</a>), but can't figure out a proper (read 'simple') way to do this.</p>
  
  <p><em>Specifically, I want to use <a href="https://github.com/edgurgel/httpoison" rel="noreferrer"><code>HTTPoison</code></a> in my elixir script.</em></p>
