You can install different Erlang versions in a simple manner with the kerl script. This is probably the easiest way to install Erlang from source on a system, and typically only requires a few commands to do so. Install kerl by running the following command:

curl -O https://raw.github.com/spawngrid/kerl/master/kerl; chmod a+x kerl

To compile Erlang as 64-bit on Mac OS X, you need to instruct kerl to pass the correct flags to the configure command. The easiest way to do this is by creating a ~/.kerlrc file with the following contents:

KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-hipe --enable-smp-support --enable-threads

Erlang

Install Erlang R16B02 using kerl

curl -O https://raw.github.com/spawngrid/kerl/master/kerl; chmod a+x kerl

Create ~/.kerlrc

Create a schema based on the default one

https://github.com/basho/yokozuna/blob/develop/priv/default_schema.xml

Upload your schema

curl -XPUT -H 'Content-Type: application/xml'  http://localhost:8098/search/schema/drew_schema --data-binary @"my_schema.xml"

Build Riak from source

Download a branch of Riak that contains RJ dependencies in rebar.config, and startup changes in reltool.config
Run make relclean && make rel
Start Riak

Pros

Least manual commands and configuration
