What is CEAN ?

It is a user level web and erlang tool that:

  • provides erlang contributed code and applications, pre-compiled for many supported platforms.
  • allows web searching of available packages, and allows direct use with erlang shell.
  • helps you to keep your erlang system up-to-date, and to manage installed/available packages.
  • helps you to install erlang on production systems without need of compilation.

Authors

It is developped and maintained by Christophe Romain christophe dot romain at process-one dot net. The cean erlang library is also developped by Bengt Kleberg.
