Hey everyone, I’m happy to announce GitHub - erlef/otp_builds: Community-maintained pre-compiled Erlang/OTP for macOS · GitHub.

Example:

$ url=https://github.com/erlef/otp_builds/releases/download/OTP-27.1.2/otp-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
$ dir=/tmp/otp
$ mkdir $dir ; tar xzf <(curl -fL $url) -C $dir
$ $dir/bin/erl
Erlang/OTP 27 [erts-15.1.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]

Eshell V15.1.2 (press Ctrl+G to abort, type help(). for help)

The goal of the builds is to be as self-contained as possible, i.e. you don’t need to install homebrew, openssl, wxwidgets, etc, it should just work out of the box.

We even have builds for Erlang/OTP master: https://github.com/erlef/otp_builds/releases/download/master-latest/otp-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz.

See GitHub - erlef/otp_builds: Community-maintained pre-compiled Erlang/OTP for macOS · GitHub for more information.

Happy downloading!
