** Step 4 - Install iimacs editor
|
||||
|
||||
A key component in our environment is the ii version of emacs. The section below will setup
|
||||
emacs version ~26.3~ and then iimacs on top.
|
||||
A key component in our environment is the ii extension of spacemacs.
|
||||
The section below will setup emacs version ~26.3~ and then layer
|
||||
the ii version of spacemacs on top.
|
||||
|
||||
Our first step is to download the base emacs 26.3 source code.
|
||||
|
||||
#+NAME: Download and extract emacs source
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
||||
# Work from our downloads directory
|
||||
cd ~/Downloads/
|
||||
|
||||
# Download the tarball for emacs 26.3 source code
|
||||
wget https://mirror.ossplanet.net/gnu/emacs/emacs-26.3.tar.xz
|
||||
|
||||
# Untar the source code archive
|
||||
tar xf emacs-26.3.tar.xz
|
||||
|
||||
# Change to the extracted directory
|
||||
cd emacs-26.3.tar.xz
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading and untarring the source code we are ready to
|
||||
attempt resolving dependencies and compiling.
|
||||
|
||||
We configure without-x as this environment is solely focussed on
|
||||
running within terminal i.e. ~emacs -nw~.
|
||||
|
||||
#+NAME: Compile and install emacs
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
||||
# Run configure to resolve any dependencies minus x window support
|
||||
./configure --without-x
|
||||
|
||||
# Compile the application with make, using all available cpu cores
|
||||
sudo make -j `nproc`
|
||||
|
||||
# Run make install to move/install compiled binaries
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After compiling and installing emacs we should verify that version ~26.3~ is
|
||||
installed.
|
||||
|
||||
#+NAME: Verify correct emacs version is installed
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
|
||||
emacs --version
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once the right version of emacs is running we can then layer in iimacs on top

||||
