Recommend a full installation of erlang on Fedora
There was a person in the Elixir slack today that had trouble trying to use a dependency that depended on xmerl. The solution for him was `sudo dnf install erlang-xmerl` (although `sudo dnf install erlang` would have been better). I've also seen Fedora users having trouble running ElixirLS if they don't have a full installation of erlang because they don't have the `erlang-dialyzer` package: elixir-lsp/elixir-ls#231 Looking at the latest version of the elixir package for erlang we can see that the "Requires" list is much smaller than the "BuildRequires" list: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/elixir/blob/1118b2d2b1e973ba8188f7e479db174850697b2f/f/elixir.spec Therefore, for typical Elixir development I believe it is important for Fedora users to have a full installation of Erlang.
