How to run Erlog inside IEX

In case anyone is interested:

• Add erlog to your mix.exs file, in the application/0 public function. Example:

  def application do
    [applications: [:logger, :erlog]]
  end

• Add erlog to your mix.exs file, in the deps/0 private function. Example:

  defp deps do
    [
      {:erlog, github: "rvirding/erlog"}
    ]

• Command line: run mix deps.get
• Command line: run mix deps.compile
• Command line: run iex -S mix
• You should be able to invoke :erlog, :erlog_server, :erlog_shell etc. functions from inside the IEx shell (there are 16 modules actually)

@AstonJ Not sure if that’s worthy of a Wiki, you decide.

@rvirding / @josevalim For your reference. Looks like if the Erlang project is “done right” (example for “not done right” here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32662329/using-erlang-library-with-elixir), it’s a pretty straightforward process.
