The setup is much harder than I thought…
- using homebrew installs the emacs and guile. Then, I also need to add path in the .bash_profile to launch the up-to-date emacs rather than the original version 22.1 shipped with the os.
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.3/bin:$PATH -
Enable the Meta key in terminal, or similar position for iterm2.
- I accidentally found this “emacs-starter-kit”, which had 2300+ stared and really saved my day. Just follow the instruction and everything will be fine.
In current state, I feel emacs kind of like vim+tmux. Anyway, learning new knowledge is always a pleasure, especially about this kind of “legacy” stuff.
cheers,
[UPDATE: after changed the loading sequence of bash in /etc/paths/ the first step seems unnecessary… actually, that was something I should do as soon as I used homebrew to port packages.
