Install Erlang Development Environment on CentOS install Erlang Development Environment 1. yum groupinstall Base "Development Tools" "Perl Support" 2. yum install gcc glibc-devel make ncurses-devel openssl -devel autoconf3, yum install unixODBC unixODBC-devel3, wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_r14b04.tar.gz4, tar xzf otp_src_R14B04.tar.gz (this version is random, official Website) 5. cd otp_src_R14B046 ,. /configure -- prefix =/home/erlang -- without-javac // java coding is not required. Remove java to avoid errors. 7. Add a soft connection to make & make install and execute erl only under the bin of erlang. 8. During ln-s/home/erlang/bin/erl/usr/local/bin/erl installation, switch to the root user to avoid insufficient permissions. Btw: virtual machines. Let the virtual machine be able to access the Internet first, otherwise it would be very unfortunate to manually download those packages.
