RefactorErl? RMP Package Install Guide

The currently available RPM package is RefactorErl? 0.9.15.04 for 64bit computers and any operating systems that use rpm as a package manager. Erlang 17 is required.

Installation

Installing the right version of Erlang

The default Erlang version available in the current repositories may not contain the files needed for RefactorErl?'s WX based user interface. Therefore it is recommended to use Erlang Solutions's version of Erlang.

This can be done by adding a new source link and updating the package cache.

wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install erlang

Installing Yaws

Unfortunately Yaws is not available as an RPM package in any of the repositories or for download, so you have to build it manually.
