Vagrant's Erlang sandbox

Creates a virtual environment for erlang development with Vagrant and Salt

What in a box?

• CentOS 6.5
• Curl
• Git
• Kerl (with kerl's bash completion)
• Erlang R16B02 (built and activated)
• Erlang 17.1

Prerequisite

Salt plugin must be installed in Vagrant

vagrant plugin install vagrant-salt

Installation

git clone git@github.com:eiri/vagrant-erlang-sandbox.git
cd vagrant-erlang-sandbox
vagrant up

it'll take a while, but after it's done

vagrant ssh
vagrant@precise64:~$ erl -version
Erlang (SMP,ASYNC_THREADS) (BEAM) emulator version 5.10.3

Switching to different erlang release

$ kerl_deactivate
$ kerl list installations
r16b03 /home/vagrant/.kerl/installs/r16b03
r17b01 /home/vagrant/.kerl/installs/r17b01
$ . /home/vagrant/.kerl/installs/r17b01/activate
erl -version
Erlang (ASYNC_THREADS,HIPE) (BEAM) emulator version 6.1

Testing Salt's highstate

Run sudo salt-call state.highstate from the virtual box.

ToDo

• Install rebar in /usr/local/bin
• Take a look at Agner
