For installing older versions of Erlang and working with several at the same time I would recommend using kerl

If you need more fancy features you could also head for asdf which has a Erlang plugin (which runs kerl under the hood)

For installation Erlang 17.3 on Ubuntu 18 you should do the following things: Enter in the console next command:

  • Download the tar file:

    wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_17.3.tar.gz

  • Extract the tar file in directory where you download the otp_src_17.3.tar.gz:

    cd '/home/yaroslav/otp_src_17.3'

    tar -zxf otp_src_17.3.tar.gz

  • set export ERL_TOP your 'pwd' path:

    export ERL_TOP=pwd

  • Basic dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install autoconf libncurses-dev build-essential

  • Other applications dependencies

    sudo apt-get install m4

    sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev

    sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

    sudo apt-get -y install libssh-dev

    sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev libglu-dev

    sudo apt-get install fop xsltproc

    sudo apt-get install g++

  • install openssl version 1.0.2 for Ubuntu 18 (different version SSL is not compatible):

    curl https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz | tar xz && cd openssl-1.0.2l && sudo ./config && sudo make && sudo make install

  • Configure and build:
