Pre-built Erlang/OTP for RHEL

I need to deploy Phoenix/Elixir app onto a Redhat 7 server, which needs Erlang OTP installed. on the Erlang site, I don't see pre-built binary package for Redhat Linux. Can I use the CentOS version for RHEL?

Just to update this a bit, here's a set of instructions that work on Centos7/RHEL.

Open ~/.profile with vi ~/.profile and add the following:

export ERLANG_VERSION="19.1.5"

Then, run source ~/.profile and check env to make sure everything is set.

Next install some basics:

yum -y install --setopt=tsflags=nodocs epel-release wget unzip uuid less bzip2 git-core inotify-tools gcc

Then install Erlang:

yum -y install https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang/esl-erlang/FLAVOUR_1_general/esl-erlang_${ERLANG_VERSION}~centos~7_amd64.rpm && \
yum -y install esl-erlang-${ERLANG_VERSION} && \
yum -y update && \
yum -y reinstall glibc-common glibc

Yes you can use the CentOS version for RHEL

Also:

You can install erlang using erlang-solution repo

Add the Erlang Solutions package:

wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Then install 

sudo yum install erlang

It's not direct answer but why you do not just use docker:

elixir official image

phoenix image

This will ensure that everything will work in same way, even if you move your server in future, plus you will have image of your infrastructure.
