rebar is deprecated and will receive only bug fixes. We encourage you to move torebar3.

rebar is an Erlang build tool that makes it easy to compile and test Erlangapplications, port drivers and releases.

rebar is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or evenembed directly in a project. Where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTPconventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of buildconfiguration work. rebar also provides dependency management, enablingapplication writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety oflocations (git, hg, etc).

Information on building and installingErlang/OTP canbe foundhere (moreinfo).

To build rebar you will need a working installation of Erlang R13B03 (or later).

Should you want to clone the rebar repository, you will also require git.

You can download a pre-built binary version of rebar from:

https://github.com/rebar/rebar/wiki/rebar

$ git clone git://github.com/rebar/rebar.git$cd rebar$ ./bootstrapRecompile: src/getopt...Recompile: src/rebar_utils==> rebar (compile)Congratulations! You now have a self-contained script called"rebar"inyour current working directory. Place this script anywherein your pathand you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps.

Please refer toCONTRIBUTING.
