[erlang-questions] Erlang/OTP interpreter (erl) not found but required

[Abhishek Ranjan]

home/ec2-user is my home directory or should I say the default directory when I make the ssh connection to server.
so i ran : KERL_ENABLE_PROMPT=y . ~/kerl/17.1/activate
command when I was in this home directory.
I think I missed a trick here as I am not familiar with linux and how to set path in linux and that's why maybe when I go to home/ec2-user/download/ejabberd.17.03/
and run ./configure command it is giving me this error.
what I understand is the line which you are saying that I missed is the same line as
KERL_ENABLE_PROMPT=y . ~/kerl/17.1/activate
but may be I gave a wrong path or ran it from wrong place (home/ec2-user).
I followed: https://yrsdi.github.io/programming/setup-erlang-with-kerl-mac-osx/
Can you gauge where I am going wrong exactly
