My Erlang application don't see ranch module dependency - erlang

Question

(Newbie here) I am having an error when trying to run ranch example.
Via rebar I created application and node (please see on github).
But when I am trying to build and run it I am getting undef ranch,start_listener.
Please see full console output:
$ rebar get-deps compile generate && sh rel/reverse/bin/reverse console
WARN: Expected reverse/deps/ranch to be an app dir (containing ebin/*.app), but no .app found.

I am not sure I correctly added ranch to reltool.config (please see on github). But If I remove deps from libs_dir path I will get rebar generate error Application version clash. Multiple directories contain version ....
UPDATE if I remove failing call and run it, application:which_applications(). gives me {ranch,[],[]} as one of the running ones.
UPDATE versions

$ rebar --version
rebar 2.5.1 17 20141223_141030 git 2.5.1-84-gdd9125e
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

In the reltool.config, remove the ebin directory from the path to Ranch:
{app, ranch, [{mod_cond, app}, {incl_cond, include}, {lib_dir, "../deps/ranch/"}]}
If you have lots of dependencies it's more convenient to do:
{lib_dirs, ["../deps"]}
instead of having a separate {app, <dep_name>, [...]} for each dependency.
The Application version clash. Multiple directories contain version XXX error indicates that the Ranch application is already installed, probably in the Erlang lib directory, creating conflicts with the deps version downloaded by Rebar.
