Emacs Configuration

Installation of emacs und utils

I'm using this configuration on Mac OS X with cocoa emacs.

Install homebrew, the missing package manager for OS X
Install cocoa emacs using homebrew: brew install emacs --use-git-head --HEAD --cocoa
For jabber support install gnutls: brew install gnutls (optional)
XML Starlet for xml flymake checks: brew install xmlstarlet (optional)
contacts for mail / sms (optional)

Installation of emacs config

Fork my emacs configs on github
Clone your forked emacs repo with git into any path you like (I have it under ~/projects/emacs-configs) using git (e.g. `git clone [email protected]:user/emacs-configs.git)
Update the submodules: git submodule init and git submodule update
Install emacs configs by symlinking it from ~/.emacs.d (e.g. ln -s /Users/username/.emacs.d /Users/username/projects/emacs-configs)
Start emacs from shell using open -a emacs or emacsclient
The first time it will install some stuff from elpa, this could take a while.
