* Update and install packages

  To get started we ensure the package manager is up to date.

  #+NAME: Update system packages
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
  #+END_SRC


  Next we install a series of standard packages that form part of our workflow or
  are dependencies for other tools in our environment.

  #+NAME: Install standard packages 
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  sudo apt-get install -y git curl wget tmate locales xclip tmux net-tools less
                        \ software-properties-common htop wget
  #+END_SRC


  We use [[https://pandoc.org/][pandoc]] for documentation export from spacemacs.

  #+NAME: Install pandoc
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  curl -L -O https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.7.3/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb  
  sudo dpkg -i /tmp/pandoc-2.7.3-1-amd64.deb
  #+END_SRC


* Install spacemacs

  A key component in our environment is spacemacs. The section below will setup
  version ~27.0.50~ of emacs and then spacemacs on top.

  #+NAME: Clone the emacs repository
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  git clone -b stable  --depth=1 https://github.com/ii/emacs
  #+END_SRC

  #+NAME: Install dependencies
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  sudo apt-get install autoconf make gcc texinfo libgtk-3-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libtiff5-dev libgnutls28-dev libncurses5-dev 
  #+END_SRC

  #+NAME: Compile and install emacs
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  cd /emacs/
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure.sh
  make
  sudo make install
  #+END_SRC

  After compiling and installing emacs we should verify that version ~27.0.50~ is
  installed.

  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  emacs --version  
  #+END_SRC

 
* Setup a local emacs pacakge mirror

  To save time we will setup a local mirror for all the LISP files that we need as part of spacemacs.
  Depending on your machine and internet connection it may take some time to download, configure and compile.

  #+NAME: Setup local emacs elpa mirror
  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  sudo git clone --depth 1 -b stable https:/github.com/ii/elpa-mirror /usr/local/elpa-mirror
  #+END_SRC

  Setup spacemacs within our home folder.

  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
  git clone --depth 1 -b stable --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ii/spacemacs.git ~/.emacs.d
  ln -sf ~/.emacs.d/private/local/dot-spacemacs/.spacemacs ~/.spacemacs
  emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el
  #+END_SRC
