You can find more up-to-date packages here (Ubuntu 12.04 has R14B04, while the latest version is R15B02). Download the appropriate package and run:

sudo dpkg -i esl-erlang_15.b.2-1~ubuntu~precise_amd64.deb

(adjust as appropriate for the 32-bit package)

I would advice you install it through the Ubuntu Software Center.

To install erlang from Ubuntu Software Center:

Open the Ubuntu Software Center.
Type erlang into the search.Under the 'Concurrent, real-time, distributed functional language' title
Check the Add-on, though optional, for additional features.
Click on 'install' to install it.
