Script to setup emacs with consistent configuration on multiple OSes and distros.
To use you can download and run the install file or by copying the following line into a terminal:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Liquid-Labs/gnu-trainer/master/bin/gnu-trainer)
This will download and run the script on any supported environment (generally Linux and OS X). The script will:
- check if emacs already installed,
- install a package manager as necessary (only on OS X),
- install emacs if necessary and possible,
- and configure installed emacs (support for 23 and 24+).
Supports emacs 23 and 24. As written, customizes by installing:
web-mode,nix-mode, andphp-modepackages.
Note the first time you launch emacs there will probably be a small delay as it downloads the packages. Subsequent starts will then be normal speed.
The current configuration used is rather simple and could use some fleshing out; feel free to suggest changes. The target for this configuration is general purpose web development; front, back, and everything in between.
If you want to go your own way, easy enough to fork. Please do isolate and submit any general improvements to the Liquid-Labs/gnu-trainer project.
I considered writing the script to download the configuration in a separate step, and then allowing the source to be set on the command line. Personally, I like the idea of keeping it simple and the complication doesn't seem justified at this point.
