Erlang
R11B
Erlang is a full-featured programming language
developed at the Ericsson CS Laboratory. more>>
Erlang is a programming
language designed at the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory.
Open-source
Erlang is being released to help encourage the spread of Erlang outside
Ericsson.
Installation
When installed, the entire
system, except for a small start-up script, resides in a single
directory tree. The location of this directory tree can be chosen
arbitrarily by the installer, and it does not need to be in the users
$PATH.
The only requirements are that the file system where it is
placed has enough free space, and that the users who run Erlang/OTP have
read access to it. In the example below, the directory tree is assumed
to be located at /usr/local/erlang, which is here called the top-level
directory.
It is assumed that you have the compressed tar file, the
name of which is < PREFIX >.tar.gz, where < PREFIX > is a
string denoting the particular Erlang/OTP release, e.g.
otp_LXA_11930_sunos5_R9B.
Wherever the string < PREFIX > is
used below, it should be replaced by the actual name prefix of the
compressed tar file.
The tape archive file does not have one single
directory in which all other files are rooted. Therefore the tape
archive file must be extracted into an empty (newly created) directory.
1.
If the top-level directory does not already exist, create it:
mkdir
/usr/local/erlang
2. Change the current directory to the top level
directory:
cd /usr/local/erlang
3. Create the installation
directory with an appropriate name. For example:
mkdir otp_r7b
4.
Change to the installation directory, e.g.
cd otp_r7b
5.
Assuming the compressed tar file resides in the directory ,. extract the
compressed tar file into the current directory:
gunzip -c / .tar.gz
| tar xfp -
6. Read the README file in the installation directory
for last minute updates, before proceeding.
7. Run the Install
script in the installation directory, with the absolute path of the
installation directory as argument,
./Install
/usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b
and supply answers to the prompts.
In
most cases, there is a default answer in square brackets ([]). If the
default is satisfactory, just press . In general you are only prompted
for one thing:
- "Do you want to use a minimal system startup
instead of the SASL startup?"
In a minimal system, only the Kernel
and STDLIB applications are loaded and started. If the SASL startup is
used, the SASL application is included as well. Normally, the minimal
system is enough.
8. Make Erlang/OTP available for users, either by
putting the path /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin in users $PATH variable,
or link the executable /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin/erl accordingly,
e.g.:
ln -s /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin/erl /usr/local/bin/erl
Enhancements:
- Among other things, SMP support was added.
