How To Install erlang-neotoma on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction

on Ubuntu 18.04.
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.
