I'm facing an error while trying to install the Erlang/OTP in MacOS 10.13.6. I am trying:

brew install erlang

But I am getting the error: Error: erlang: no bottle available!.

I have attached the screenshot

  • To help enrich your questions (and make it more searchable via Stack Overflow or Google), I recommend investigating the error messages, and potentially typing out the error messages in the question. The screenshot image was helpful -- I would post both. – montooner Dec 30 '20 at 06:17

In your screenshot, it says:

Error: erlang: no bottle available!

And on the erlang package description for Homebrew, it says it doesn't support your Mac Version (10.13). Note "High Sierra" isn't listed in the "Current versions" that are supported.

I recommend one of the two alternatives:

  • Install asdf (langauge manager) and then asdf-erlang
  • Use homebrew to install an older version of Erlang; one that supports 10.13 (High Siera). It looks like erlang@21 supports high_sierra.

Personally I recommend 'asdf' for development purposes. It does erlang and numerous other languages. Once you get it set up, it becomes very easy to adopt other environments.

  • @MohanKrishnan - if you were able to install Erlang, would you mind marking this question as being answered? ;) Thanks. – montooner Dec 30 '20 at 22:03
