Hello.
Today, I am going to share with you how to install Lisp Flavored Erlang on Linux.
First, install rebar3
:
guix install rebar3 # or use your distro's package manager
Then, add the lfe
plugin to asdf
(which I am assuming you have installed from using Elixir — if not, you will need to install that, followed by installing an Erlang/OTP version with it. Note: This is not the Common Lisp asdf. See https://asdf-vm.com/ for more info.):
asdf plugin-add lfe
Then, install lfe
using asdf
:
asdf install lfe 2.1.4
Once that’s done, set v2.1.4 as your global lfe
:
asdf global lfe 2.1.4
Finally, add the following to your ~/.config/rebar3/rebar.config
{plugins, [
{rebar3_lfe, “0.4.10”}
]}.
And install rebar3_lfe
:
rebar3 plugins list
(Optional) Emacs Integration
I use Spacemacs, so I added lfe-mode
to dotspacemacs-additional-packages
.
Edit: If you’d like to see an example of how to use LFE from within Elixir, check out the following repository, created by John Goff, who uses LFE to create a Plug: https://github.com/john-goff/lfe_plug
That’s it! Hope you enjoyed it!
