Oh! Here’s the command we use to do this in building Couchbase Mobile:
erl -noinput -eval 'erlang:display(beam_lib:strip_release("."))' -s
init stop
where “.” is the path to the Erlang root directory, i.e. the one containing
subdirectories for all the apps/packages.
Also, make sure to use the “+compressed” parameter to erlc, which will gzip the
.beam files.
