Introduction

This guide should explain how to easily install KERL onto a Fedora 10 system.
These instructions should also work for other RPM based distributions.

Step 1: Install C Compiler

You will need to install a C++ compiler to build KERL.
You can install it as shown below.

Step 2: Install Player

You will need the Player headers and libraries to build KERL.
You can install Player as shown below.
Player/Stage built for fedora can be found here.

Step 3: Install Erlang

Erlang is required to install and use KERL.

Step 4: Check out KERL

Check KERL out using subversion by running:
svn co http://kerl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kerl/tags/[version] kerl-[version]

Step 5: Configure and Make

After checking out KERL you can configure and build it by running:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/ && make install
You may need to run updatedb so that erlang interface can be found.

Step 6: Installing KERL

You can then install KERL by running as root
# make install

Step 7: Testing KERL

You can now test a successful installation on KERL from any directory by running:
# erl
> mrh:start().
