This is my Emacs configuration, a somewhat simple config compared to most. It’s geared towards OS X, although it should work on most *nix configs. I’ve never tried this on Windows, so YMMV.
The entire configuration is tangled using org-babel-load-file,
which generates a file named emacs-init.org from the emacs-lisp
source blocks. You can find the init org file here - my literate
Emacs.
This configuration aims to provide you with a bare-bones
configuration with sane defaults, built upon package.el.
Although Emacs has support for many programming languages, this config is geared towards the following languages and workflows:
- Python
- CSS / LESS
- JavaScript
- Markdown
- Clojure
To install, it’s recommended to clone this repo wherever you prefer
and symlink the directory to ~/.emacs.d.
git clone https://github.com/jonathanchu/dotemacs.git
There is a Makefile provided that will create the symlink for you at
~/.emacs.d:
make setup
My current Emacs distro of choice is:
brew install emacs --with-cocoa
Please note, this requires homebrew to be installed.
There are a few requirements needed for this config to properly run.
All of these prerequisites can be installed via homebrew and npm.
brew install ag brew install node npm install jshint
For using python-mode and elpy, you’ll need to have pip
installed and install the following packages:
pip install rope pip install flake8
To update the packages, type M-x list-packages, then U followed by x.
I recently started to use @Malabarba’s excellent paradox, which can be invoked similarly as such - M-x paradox-list-packages, then U followed by x.
