I'm facing an error while trying to install the Erlang/OTP in MacOS 10.13.6. I am trying:

brew install erlang

But I am getting the error: Error: erlang: no bottle available!.

In your screenshot, it says:

Error: erlang: no bottle available!

And on the erlang package description for Homebrew, it says it doesn't support your Mac Version (10.13). Note "High Sierra" isn't listed in the "Current versions" that are supported.

I recommend one of the two alternatives:

  • Install asdf (langauge manager) and then asdf-erlang
  • Use homebrew to install an older version of Erlang; one that supports 10.13 (High Siera). It looks like erlang@21 supports high_sierra.

Personally I recommend 'asdf' for development purposes. It does erlang and numerous other languages. Once you get it set up, it becomes very easy to adopt other environments.
