What is the easiest way for beginners to install a module?

Question

I checked out rebar, but that seems way too complex. Maybe someone could post something that says, %Post your code here in the following rebar app

Answer 1

I began learning erlang last year and what I found really helpful to get familiar with erlang was writing code in a simple notepad of your choice, and saving it as myapp_app.erl. Then I would open up the erlang console, and use the compile command, c, to compile my module which would then let me call my functions.

> c(myapp_app).
> myapp_app:start(a,b).
