Hangs at "Shall I install hex?"

Using Erlang 20, Elixir 1.6.0 both using kerl and kiex
This appears to be a bug in Atom IDE's implementation of the language server protocol, specifically the window/showMessageRequest request. The notification should include "Yes" and "No" buttons you can click to continue. I filed an issue on atom-languageclient: atom/atom-languageclient#196 . I'll leave this issue open until this is fixed.
In the meantime, you can run mix from the CLI once, and it should prompt you to install Hex, and then you won't see this message next time you launch Atom. Alternatively, I highly recommend trying out the ElixirLS extension for VS Code, which is a much more mature LSP client and supports several features that Atom does not: https://github.com/JakeBecker/vscode-elixir-ls
The issue's been fixed in atom-languageclient and I've published a new release with the updated dependency. Should be working now.
