Introduction

This is just my Emacs configuration. It auto-installs all packages using el-get.

For a glance of all installed packages check my:el-get-packages variable.

Requirements

These are the necessary packages for all enabled plugins.

Emacs 24.x
Bazaar: for package downloads.
CVS: for package downloads.
Git: for package downloads and magit.
Mercurial: for package downloads.
SVN: for package downloads.
GNU Make: for package builds.
GNU texinfo 4.13[0]: for building builds.
taglib (development files): For emms-print-metadata build.
python (2.6 or 2.7): for building jedi.
xapian-core: for building mu (mu4e).
libtool: for building mu (mu4e).
gmime: for building mu (mu4e).
sqlite3: for building mu (mu4e).
gtk2: for building mu (mu4e).
webkitgtk2: for building mu (mu4e).

See “Disabling packages” section for a way to avoid some requirements.

[0] Version 5.0 breaks when building some docs.

Arch GNU/Linux

Installation of all requirements in Arch is quite simple.

sudo pacman -S emacs bzr cvs git mercurial subversion\
 make texinfo taglib python2 xapian-core libtool gmime\
 sqlite3 gtk2 webkitgtk2

Arch’s current texinfo is 5.0 so if you need to install the older 4.13 version, download it from here:

Depending on your system (x86_64, i686), this will do it:

wget http://arm.konnichi.com/2013/02/15/core/os/x86_64/texinfo-4.13a-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U texinfo-4.13a-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Installation

When you meet all requirements, everything should install automatically after you launch Emacs. If some package fail because of a network connection failure or anything, restarting Emacs will continue installation from that point.

There are 3 non-required important files you might want to check out:

~/.emacs.d/secrets.el: This is a file I’m using to store my IRC password and other sensible stuff.
~/.emacs.d/pre-startup.el: This file might contain any lisp that’s intended to be run before all packages are loaded and initialized.
~/.emacs.d/post-startup.el: This file might contain any lisp that’s intended to be run after all packages are loaded and initialized.

Disabling packages

If you don’t want to install some packages you can use the pre-startup.el file to modify the my:el-get-disabled-packages variable.

;;; pre-startup.el
;; Avoid installing/loading some packages.
(setq my:el-get-disabled-packages '(mu4e o-blog org-mode))

Bug Reports

If you find a configuration bug please report it in the github tracker. Any package bugs must be reported in their upstream bug tracker.
