We can install Erlang on CentOS using '<tt>yum install erlang</tt>' when all popular repositories are configured. However if we want latest version of Erlang then we need to install from source. To install erlang from source we can use following steps:
=Install erlang by source=
#Use '<tt>yum -y install wxGTK wxGTK-devel gcc ncurses-devel openssl-libs openssl-devel java java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel fop gcc-c++ byacc bison unixODBC unixODBC-devel</tt>'
# Download the source and latest man packages from Erlang sites
#Download Erlang source code and man pages.
#:* https://www.erlang.org/downloads
#Extract source (tar xzf otp_src_*.tar.gz)
#:* https://erlang.org/download/
#Run '<tt>./configure; make; sudo make install</tt>'
# Install required dependencies:
#Optionally remove extracted source directory
#:<pre>
#<tt>mkdir man</tt>
#:: dnf -y install gcc ncurses-devel openssl-libs openssl-devel java java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel gcc-c++ byacc bison unixODBC unixODBC-devel
#<tt>tar xzf otp_doc_man_*.tar.gz -C man</tt>
#:</pre>
#<tt>sudo mv man/man /usr/local/lib/erlang</tt>
# Extract the sources and install via:\
#<tt>rm man -rf</tt>
#:<pre>
#Test whether man pages and erlang both are working with '<tt>erl -man erl</tt> command.
#:: ./configure; make; make install
#:</pre>
#: Ignore warning related to wxwidgets and fop
# Test by opening
#:<pre>
#:: erl
#:: q().
#:</pre>
 
 
=Install man pages=
# Install man pages using:
#:<pre>
#:: mkdir man
#:: tar xzf otp_doc_man_*.tar.gz -C man
#:: sudo mv man/man /usr/local/lib/erlang

Install erlang by source

  1. Download the source and latest man packages from Erlang sites
  2. Install required dependencies: 
    dnf -y install gcc ncurses-devel openssl-libs openssl-devel java java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel  gcc-c++ byacc bison unixODBC unixODBC-devel
  3. Extract the sources and install via:\ 
    ./configure; make; make install
    Ignore warning related to wxwidgets and fop
  4. Test by opening

    q().


Install man pages

    mkdir man
    

    tar xzf otp_doc_man_*.tar.gz -C man
    

    sudo mv man/man /usr/local/lib/erlang
    

    rmdir man
  2. Test by opening 
    erl -man erlang

Install yaws web server

  1. Download zip source file from https://github.com/erlyaws/yaws
  2. Install pam-devel files using: 
    dnf -y install pam-devel
  3. Extract the zip file and build configure via 
    autoreconf -fi
    Step mentioned in README.md
