I need to install Erlang 24.1 on Aamazon Linux 2. I am using package cloud script and repos for this but it fails with following message.

(venv) [CORP\shiv.d@a-1njrk968l4brs yum.repos.d]$ sudo yum install erlang

Not using downloaded rabbitmq_erlang/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It complains about zlib 1.2.7.1 which is already installed.

Not 100% sure, but it might be due to the Linux version n Amazon Linux.

As you can see in the Erlang package name, erlang.x86_64 0:24.1-1.el8. It indicate that it is for Enterprise Linux 8.

If you try to run rpm -E %{rhel}, it will return you 7, hence you'll need the erlang that support el7
