#+TITLE: Installing Emacs Since Emacs Lisp (elisp) is the extension language for Emacs, you'll need to install [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU Emacs]] first. It is recommended to get the latest Emacs, currently 24.5-1, but 24.4 or higher should be considered the target implementation for the exercises. *** On OS X The easiest way is to visit [[http://emacsformacosx.com/][Emacs For Mac OS X]] and download the dmg, which will install GNU Emacs as a packaged OS X app. Alternatives exist, such as Aquamacs (not recommended) or installing via Homebrew, if you prefer. *** On Linux On some distros, Emacs is already installed, since it's part of GNU. **** Ubuntu Prior to Ubuntu 15.04 "vivid vervet", the highest available Emacs version was 24.3, so you'll need to use a [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=emacs][PPA]] or [[http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-emacs-24-4-on-ubuntu-14-10-ubuntu-14-04-and-derivative-systems/][build from source]] if you're on 14.10 or earlier. Otherwise, if you're running vivid, it should be as simple as #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo apt-get install emacs #+END_SRC **** Arch Arch currently ships with the latest Emacs 24.5-1, so run: #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo pacman -S emacs #+END_SRC and you should be set. **** Other distros Check with your distro to see what version is current, and use your package manager or build from source as appropriate. *** Windows So you've decided to install Emacs on Windows. [[http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/83-Image-2.jpg]] I've never done it, but the prevailing wisdom is that you just need to visit the [[http://ftp.wayne.edu/gnu/emacs/windows/][FTP archive]], grab the correct binary (=emacs-24.x-bin-xxx.zip=), unzip it and launch. YMMV, please let us know in the issues or [[https://gitter.im/exercism/support][on Gitter]] if this section needs some love.
