Yes. I've tried Homebrew on the Mac and various Linux packages and run into too many headaches with missing crypto libs or not finding the exact version I want. Kerl has always worked perfectly the first time and lets me swap between multiple versions at will. (YMMV)

If you want to keep trying it pre-packaged, though, try Erlang Solutions' packages: https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp

This is months after your question was initially asked, but:

The first thing i tried with regards to multiple release management, but coming from a python virtualenv (e: likely misunderstood and not well understood, honestly) type environment situation i found the talent deficit's erlenv to be really handy when trying to manage various erl versions while learning Erlang whenever I've had something complain about erlang version.

Granted, I haven't ever put any erlang thing I've made into production and I don't know how that would work, and I'm also unfamiliar with the original ruby/rbenv environment; it's still worked 'good enough' for me with my stage in learning Erlang. I don't think I've tried kerl yet however, I will have to check it out.

Also, I really like erlang/learning about erlang but I really can't explain 'why' I guess right now; it just seems to 'click' with me more so than other languages and remains a fun language to think in for me. Thanks, this thread and MononcQc (and LYSE) for helping me find it :)

I'd be happy to review it. I don't have any production experience with erlang though; I've just used it for hobby projects for a while.

Same here, I've been halfassedly looking around for an "erlang in production" read to prepare myself for a theoretical release of a hobby project.

hit me up on synirc/pm

Are there any other recommended reads on erlang in production?

As far as I know, if you're wanting to do that probably the best way would be through a socket; but you have to consider that any erlang library you write would need to be running within the Erlang VM - it wouldn't be a compiled dll you can just use from within UE4 without also having the VM going.

I might be wrong about that, I'm far from experienced with erlang, and when I was looking at it a few months back i was looking going the ways you already mentioned.

Maybe there is a way to bundle it all into one thing; I just haven't run across anywhere talking about that.
