<div><br></div><div>So far it has been wonderful and I expect the remainder to be as well. However, as a newbie to Erlang, I have come across an issue and need some clarification.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When I began the tutorial I just did an install via apt-get like so:</div><div><br></div><div>sudo apt-get install erlang</div><div><br></div><div>This has worked very well in the console for the excercises thus far. However, I am now at the point when I want to begin using emacs. When I go to install the emacs erlang-mode it seems to be requiring OTP. (I had planned on starting with the Erlang language fundamentals then move-on to OTP specific stuff) When I went to install OTP it instucted me to use apt-get and install esl\erlang:</div>
<div><br></div><div>sudo apt-get install esl\erlang</div><div><br></div><div>However, when I do this I receive conflict errors. So, I just went ahead and removed erlang:</div><div><br></div><div>sudo apt-get remove erlang</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then installed OTP as instructed:</div><div><br></div><div>sudo apt-get install esl/erlang</div><div><br></div><div>Now it appears to be good but I am unsure of what state I am in. Could someone please explain the difference? Am I missing anything from core erlang? I want to make sure because I am about to begin work maintaining a system that uses erlang and OTP.</div>
