, add the following to ~/.direnvrc
:
use_erlang() {
OTP_VERSION="$1"
if has kerl; then
OTP_INSTALLATION=$(kerl list installations | grep "^$OTP_VERSION " | cut -d' ' -f2)
if [ -s "$OTP_INSTALLATION/activate" ] ; then
tput setaf 2
echo "Using Erlang/OTP $OTP_VERSION (in $OTP_INSTALLATION) via kerl"
tput sgr0
. "$OTP_INSTALLATION/activate"
export OTP_ROOT="$OTP_INSTALLATION"
export OTP_VERSION
else
tput setaf 1
echo "Erlang/OTP $OTP_VERSION not available via kerl; using default"
