I am just starting with otp and rebar3. Following are the versions installed:
Erlang/OTP 23
rebar 3.15.1 on Erlang/OTP 23 Erts 11.2
However, when I am trying to add the dependency cowboy from the Basic Usage page of rebar3, the compilation fails with the following error:

❯ rebar3 compile

For convenience below is the rebar3 report which was generated using the command rebar3 report compile :

my rebar3.config file:

{erl_opts, [debug_info]}.
{deps, [
  {cowboy, "1.0.1"}, % package
  {cowboy, {git, "git://github.com/ninenines/cowboy.git", {tag, "1.0.1"}}} % alternatively, source
]}.

{shell, [
  % {config, "config/sys.config"},
    {apps, [myapp]}

I have tried downloading a different dependency such as libp2p from hex but with same error.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
