Virtual Environment for Erlang

Question

I want to learn Erlang and maybe Elixir. I have used virtualenvwrapper for my Django projects, and also for NodeJS and find it very useful.

I would like to use it my Erlang test if possible. I have searched PyPI and google it for a solution and not found much info... I have found a elixir version manager, exenv. And envirius and kerl for erlang.

Would like to know your opinion on these managers? Or if I missed a better one...

EDIT

What options we have for a virtual environment in Erlang?

Why do you need virtual environment for Erlang/Elixir, what you try to solve with it? In my mind virtualenv in Python is used for separating system-level python libs from project-level. This is not a problem in Erlang/Elixir because of project is acts like "virtualenv" and rebar or mix installs dependencies in it.

no trying to solve anything, only avoid conflicts between erlang versions. – yellowbuck Jun 19 '14 at 13:48

then kerl looks good for this – couchemar Jun 19 '14 at 14:05
I will accept your answer. Although I think will go with envirius because it looks more like virtualenv. – yellowbuck Jun 19 '14 at 16:18
