Tested on versions:
- GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.19) of 2015-06-17
- GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2015-06-17
Clone this repository, and then run the bootstrap.sh
script. This
will copy all of the necessary files to ~/.emacs
and
~/.emacs.d
. Note that if these files exist for you already, this
will overwrite those files.
Once you have run the bootstrap script, start Emacs (make sure you are
connected to the internet when you do this for the first time). It
will install el-get
and all of
the other plugins listed in the next section. This initial
installation may take a while, so be patient.
For some of the plugins to work, you will need to have some external dependencies installed, such as Python, IPython, git, etc. If the installation gives you an error, it might mean you are missing a required dependency that el-get doesn't install.
This configuration installs several plugins using
el-get
. These plugins are
specified in .emacs.d/settings/el-get-settings.el
, and are also
listed below:
company-mode
-- an auto completion modepopup
-- visual popup (e.g., for auto completion)color-theme-solarized
-- the solarized color thememagit
-- git pluginmarkdown-mode
-- support for Markdown fileshelm
-- completion and selection narrowing frameworkhelm-descbinds
-- describe keybindings using helmnyan-mode
-- silly mode that renders a nyan cat to display how far you are through a file
Here are some issues I or others have run into when installing this configuration.
To install all the plugins above, you need to have several different
version control systems installed, including hg
, git
, bzr
, and
cvs
.
If you get the error tramp ssh: connect to host c port 22: Operation timed out
and you are running OS X Mavericks with Emacs installed
using Homebrew, then this is probably due to the Mavericks
upgrade. Try reinstalling Emacs through Homebrew and remove the folder
~/.emacs.d/el-get
(note: this will remove all your el-get plugins,
and they will need to be reinstalled).
