Make executable erlang program on the Mac Terminal

I'm very new to Erlang. I've tried now several hours to find out how to run my sample scripts without the Erlang Shell.

I have installed Erlang with Mac Ports, and I can access the Shell, write Scripts etc.

But I try to run my program in the Mac Terminal.

On this page [1] they are using ecc and elink. I don't have these programs in my installation.

Can you please provide me a way, how I can solve my problem?

Thanks and regards

chris

You need to add:

#!/usr/bin/env escript

at the beginning of your script and make it executable (as @nomulous said):

chmod u+x myscript

Then you can run it like this:

./myscript

if it is in your current directory, or by giving its relative or full path otherwise, e.g.:

~/Desktop/myscript

Reference: the page you gave section Erlang Scripts

If your script is not executable, it won't run outside of the shell.

To make it executable, use chmod +x your_script_here.
