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

[Nuku Ameyibor]

@ Ranjan, 

 KERL_ENABLE_PROMPT=Y 
. ~/kerl/17.1/activate
They are two separate commands not one command.
Run them one after the other .
After that run 
which erl 
That command will show you the path to your current activated erlang version .

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

You might miss to run `$ . /path/to/install/dir/activate`.

I was installing ejabberd 17.03 through source code when I found that I needed to intall Erlang 17.1 for it. I installed erlang /otp 17.1 using kerl inside the /home/ec2-user/kerl/17.1 directory.
I then used  ./autogen.sh command which ran without any output
       then:  ./configure which gave this error
configure: error: Erlang/OTP interpreter (erl) not found but required  
Can anyone help?

Abhishek
