How-tos

Erlang SDK setup

You need to specify a directory that contains bin directory with erl and erlc executables inside.
Also that directory should contains releases dir inside.
Some predefined paths:

/usr/lib/erlang (Linux)
/opt/local/lib/erlang (Mac Ports on Mac OS X)
/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R*/lib/erlang (Homebrew on Mac OS X)

If something goes wrong you always may reopen the #31.
