# Heroku buildpack: Erlang

This is a Heroku buildpack for Erlang apps. It uses [Rebar](https://github.com/rebar/rebar) or [Rebar3](https://github.com/rebar/rebar3).

Which build tool to use is automatically detected. Rebar is currently the default. If either `rebar3` or `rebar.lock` are present, Rebar3 will be used.

### Configure your Heroku App

$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-erlang.git" -a YOUR_APP

or

$ heroku create --buildpack "https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-erlang.git"

### Select an Erlang version

The Erlang/OTP release version that will be used to build and run your application is now sourced from a dotfile called `.preferred_otp_version`. It needs to be the branch or tag name from the http://github.com/erlang/otp repository, and further, needs to be one of the versions that precompiled binaries are available for.

When you fail to specify the version, the version marked with a `*` will be used. this may vary per stack.

* OTP_R16B03-1

Please let us know ([email protected]) if you'd like some other version supported. We'll attempt to keep up to date with the official releases.

To select the version for your app:

$ echo OTP-17.5.1 > .preferred_otp_version
$ git commit -m "Select 17.5.1 as preferred OTP version" .preferred_otp_version

### Build your Heroku App

$ git push heroku master

You may need to write a new commit and push if your code was already up to date.

NOTE: You need to have either an ebin/ directory or rebar.config checked into Git in order for Heroku to identify this project as an Erlang app it can build.
