Is there a simply plug in system like gem for erlang as I find it quite complicated to install third party software?
The Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network and Faxien are two packages that provide an easy way to install erlang libraries.
Neither of these are bundled with erlang so first need to be installed. Then you can use them to download other software.
CEAN is available either as a library to add to an existing erlang installation or as an all-in-one install including an erlang distribution. Get CEAN from CEAN download page and then read the CEAN documentation to see how to use it.
For Faxien the best is to follow the tutorial. Once it’s installed you can use
faxien helpto find what you can do next.
