At one point in time I thought I read somewhere there was a build tool that would allow you to build a full self executable with the Erlang VM bundle with your compiled application. Has anyone else came across this situation. I would like to push my elixir application to some servers as a single executable binary. Any advice or help with this would be appreciated.

This still has to have erlang VM installed on the server. I thought I noticed somewhere there is an option to compile the vm with the your app.

Thanks, Jose. That does not require the server to actually have Erlang installed before hand right it will install as needed in isolation?

The VM is shipped as part of the release. Everything you need will be in the release directory.

The tradition in the Erlang world is to bundle the VM with the release.
It has the benefit of making sure that it will just run without requiring anything on the target machine.
If you have very frequent updates on a lot of machines you can decide to pre-install the Erlang VM on all target machines. Then you can omit the VM from your release.
Relx (tool for building Erlang releases) has inclusion of the VM as an option. The default is to include it.
Include it. Don't worry. Be happy.
Cheers,
Torben
