# rebar(1)

Sophisticated build-tool for Erlang projects that follows OTP principles

## NAME

rebar - Sophisticated build-tool for Erlang projects that follows OTP principles

## SYNOPSIS

**rebar** \[-h\] \[-c\] \[-v \<verbose\>\] \[-V\] \[-f\] \[-D \<defines\>\] \[-j \<jobs\>\] \[-C \<config\>\] \[-p\] \[var=value,...\] \<command,...\>

## DESCRIPTION

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

**rebar** is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or even   embed directly in a project. Where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTP   conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build   configuration work. rebar also provides dependency management, enabling   application writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety of   locations (git, hg, etc).
