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

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
(venv) [CORP\shiv.d@a-1njrk968l4brs yum.repos.d]$
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
