Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install erlang-compiler on CentOS 8.
What is erlang-compiler
A byte code compiler for Erlang which produces highly compact code.
We can use yum or dnf to install erlang-compiler on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install erlang-compiler.
Install erlang-compiler on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
