Erlang

mise can be used to install and manage multiple versions of erlang on the same system.

The following are instructions for using the erlang core plugin. This is used when there isn't a git plugin installed named "erlang".

The code for this is inside the mise repository at ./src/plugins/core/erlang.rs.

Usage

The following installs erlang and makes it the global default:

mise use -g erlang@26

See available versions with mise ls-remote erlang.

The plugin uses kerl under the hood to build erlang. See kerl's docs for information on configuring kerl.

The following tool-options are available for the erlang backend. These options go in the [tools] section in mise.toml.

Set environment variables for kerl build/install commands and other install-time commands run by the core erlang backend:

toml

[tools]
erlang = { version = "latest", install_env = { KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS = "--without-javac" } }
