<div class="paragraph"><p>Before Gun can be used it needs to be in Erlang&#8217;s <code>ERL_LIBS</code> path variable.
If you use <code>erlang.mk</code> or a similar build tool, you only need to specify
Gun as a dependency to your application and the tool will take care
of downloading Gun and setting up paths.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>erlang.mk</code> this is done by adding <code>gun</code> to the <code>DEPS</code> variable
in your Makefile.</p></div>

to do is to set up your application resource file so that Gun can
be included in the release. The application resource file can be
found in <code>ebin/your_application.app</code>, or in <code>src/your_application.app.src</code>
if you are using a build tool like <code>erlang.mk</code>.</p></div>

it only includes <code>kernel</code> and <code>stdlib</code>. You need to add <code>gun</code> to
that list.</p></div>
