Building

From Reia

Contents 1 Prerequisites 1.1 Installing Erlang 1.2 Installing Rake 2 Building Reia

Prerequisites

Reia depends on both Erlang, which provides the runtime, and rake, a Ruby-based build tool.

Installing Erlang

Reia requires a minimum Erlang version of R12B-3 (a.k.a. 5.6.3)

• Installing Erlang on Ubuntu
• Installing Erlang on OS X

Installing Rake

Rake is only required if you intend to build Reia from source.

1. Install Ruby
2. Install RubyGems
3. Type "gem install rake"

Rake should now be installed.

Building Reia

If you have Erlang and Rake installed and are in the toplevel of the Reia source code, you can type:

$ rake

at your shell to build the Reia source code.

This will compile Reia and run the test suite to ensure things are working correctly.
