How To Install erlang-kernel on CentOS 8

erlang-kernel is Main erlang library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install erlang-kernel on CentOS 8.

What is `erlang-kernel`

Main erlang library.

We can use yum or dnf to install erlang-kernel on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install erlang-kernel.

Install erlang-kernel 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:
