How to connect a module to the erlang console?

Question

Erlang

I compiled a module for erlang from the sources and I want to execute it as described in the documentation, but for some reason it does not work:

I suspect that I am not doing some simple standard action that is not described in the module documentation https://saleyn.github.io/erlexec/

alternatively, before entering the console, go to the ebin folder or set the path when entering the console: erl -pa ebin.
