Python Raspberry Pi 4: How to install erlang?


There was a similar question almost a decade ago and I don't think the solution applies to me. I am trying to install a new software, and it needs erlang software as a support package.

Step1: I downloaded the package as given below: enter image description here

step2: installing it on the Raspberry Pi 4

I unzipped the downloaded file and this is what I see inside:

After this, I have no idea how to install it. I don't see any readme file or executable file so I can install it. I appreciate your help. Thanks


Solution

  • No need to unzip the file. As it's a .deb package, you can install it from the command line with dpkg -i:

    dpkg -i esl-erlang_22.1.6-1~raspbian~buster_armhf.deb
    

    (Change to the right directory or add a path as required)
