Installing Erlang on Mac OS X

I’ve recently been intrigued by RabbitMQ which is an implementation of AMPQ (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) written in Erlang. Here’s the short and sweet installation instructions for Erlang on Mac OS X:

1. Download the most recent release from here.
2. tar -xzf otp_src_R13B02-1.tar.gz
3. cd otp_src_R13B02-1
4. ./configure
5. make
6. sudo make install
