I figured out how to install the erlang man documents:
1) Google "installing man pages for erlang":
http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R9C-0.readme
2) Scroll down to the section: "How to install the Erlang/OTP documentation":
=======
For some graphical tools to find the on-line help you have to install
the HTML documentation on top of the installed OTP applications, i.e.
cd <PrefixDir>/lib/erlang
gunzip -c otp_html_R9C-0.tar.gz | tar xf -
For "erl -man <page>" to work the Unix manual pages have to be
installed in the same way, i.e.
cd <PrefixDir>/lib/erlang
gunzip -c otp_man_R9C-0.tar.gz | tar xf -
========
3) From reading some other stuff in the document, I understood the default <PrefixDir> to be /usr/local.
4)
cd /usr/local/lib/erlang
tar xfvz ~/Downloads/otp_doc_man_R15B01.tar.gz
5)
erl -man lists
Thanks.
