Installing

Retrieving the source

The first step in installation is obtaining a copy of the source code locally. The easiest method is by using your operating system’s git tool and pulling from the trunk on github:

$ git clone git://github.com/essen/egs

You can also download a tarball of the latest revision from the project homepage.

Building and Running

For Linux

Most distributions come with an erlang package already installed, and most of its related components needed for running the server. If not, they often have them in their software repositories.

Installation on these systems is simple; change the server IP in include/network.hrl to what you wish to bind to, run make and then run the server with make run in the root of the source.
