How To Install erlang-neotoma on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install erlang-neotoma on Kali Linux.

What is erlang-neotoma

erlang-neotoma is:

Neotoma is a packrat parser-generator for Erlang for Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs). It consists of a parsing-combinator library with memoization routines, a parser for PEGs, and a utility to generate parsers from PEGs. It is inspired by treetop, a Ruby library with similar aims, and parsec, the parser-combinator library for Haskell.

Features include:

• Simple, declarative parsers generated from even simpler grammars.
• Fully integrated, single-pass lexical and syntactic analysis (a feature of PEGs).
• Packrat-style memoization, boasting parse-time bound linearly to the input size (at the expense of memory usage).
• In-place semantic analysis/transformation, supporting single-pass end-to-end in some applications.
• Erlang code-generation for the lexical/syntactic analysis piece, with the option of semantic analysis/transformation inline, or in a separate module.
• Line/column number tracking for easy resolution of parsing errors.
