Prelude alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users. Prelude is compatible ONLY with GNU Emacs 24.x. In general you're advised to always run Prelude with the latest Emacs - currently 24.3.

Naturally git is also required. Via Curl If you're using curl type the following command: curl -L https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/raw/master/utils/installer.sh | sh Via Wget If you're using wget type: wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/raw/master/utils/installer. Manual git clone git://github.com/bbatsov/prelude.git path/to/local/repo ln -s path/to/local/repo ~/.emacs.d cd ~/.emacs.d You'd do well to replace ~/.emacs.d with the value of user-emacs-directory for your OS. You can check the value by doing C-h v user-emacs-directory inside Emacs. Updating Prelude Manual update The update procedure is fairly straightforward and consists of 3 steps: Update all bundled packages Just run M-x package-list-packages RET U x . Update Prelude's code cd path/to/prelude/installation git pull The path/to/prelude/installation is usually ~/.emacs.d (at least on Unix systems). Restart Prelude It's generally a good idea to stop Emacs after you do the update. The next time Prelude starts it will install any new dependencies (if there are such).

If you are doing a manual install then you first need to copy the prelude-modules.el available in the sample directory to the root of path/to/prelude/installation and then adjust that one. After you've uncommented a module you should either restart Emacs or evaluate the module require expression with C-x C-e . Running Nothing fancy here. Just start Emacs as usual. Personally I run Emacs in daemon mode: emacs --daemon Afterwards I connect to the server with either a terminal or a GUI client like this: emacsclient -t emacsclient -c You'd probably do well to put a few aliases in your .zshrc (or .bashrc ): alias e='emacsclient -t' alias ec='emacsclient -c' alias vim='emacsclient -t' alias vi='emacsclient -t' The last two aliases are helpful if you're used to editing files from the command line using vi(m) . Getting to know Prelude Certainly the best way to understand how Prelude enhances the default Emacs experience is to peruse Prelude's source code (which is obviously written in Emacs Lisp). Understanding the code is not necessary of course. Prelude includes a prelude-mode minor Emacs mode which collects some of the additional functionality added by Prelude. It also adds an additional keymap that binds many of those extensions to keybindings. 34 views 0 0 RELATED TITLES Bbatsov Prelude Uploaded by Sun Sundiata Bbatsov Prelude Full description Save Embed Share Print Rpm Kickstart Acl Emacs Reference Ros Agitr Letter Productivity Card Tools for 34 views 0 0 RELATED TITLES Bbatsov Prelude Uploaded by Sun Sundiata Bbatsov Prelude Full description Save Embed Share Print Rpm Kickstart Acl Emacs Reference Ros Agitr Letter Productivity Card Tools for 6/28/2014 bbatsov/prelude C-c r Rename the current buffer and its visiting file if any.

  • Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS): a Multi-Platform, Multi-Package Intelligent Environment for Statistical Analysis
    Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS): A multi-platform, multi-package intelligent environment for statistical analysis A.J. Rossini Richard M. Heiberger Rodney A. Sparapani Martin Machler¨ Kurt Hornik ∗ Date: 2003/10/22 17:34:04 Revision: 1.255 Abstract Computer programming is an important component of statistics research and data analysis. This skill is necessary for using sophisticated statistical packages as well as for writing custom software for data analysis. Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) provides an intelligent and consistent interface between the user and software. ESS interfaces with SAS, S-PLUS, R, and other statistics packages under the Unix, Microsoft Windows, and Apple Mac operating systems. ESS extends the Emacs text editor and uses its many features to streamline the creation and use of statistical software. ESS understands the syntax for each data analysis language it works with and provides consistent display and editing features across packages. ESS assists in the interactive or batch execution by the statistics packages of statements written in their languages. Some statistics packages can be run as a subprocess of Emacs, allowing the user to work directly from the editor and thereby retain a consistent and constant look- and-feel. We discuss how ESS works and how it increases statistical programming efficiency. Keywords: Data Analysis, Programming, S, SAS, S-PLUS, R, XLISPSTAT,STATA, BUGS, Open Source Software, Cross-platform User Interface. ∗A.J.

  • TEX Documents with AUCTEX in Emacs
    Writing (LA)TEX documents with AUCTEX in Emacs David Kastrup dak (at) gnu dot org Abstract At the time of the abstract deadline, several pretest versions of Emacs 22 have been made available, and the final release is even more imminent than the last few years. However, most GNU/Linux distributions already have made developer versions of Emacs available as snapshots. Users meeting their typesetting needs mostly withLATEX will profit from moving to such versions from the rather an- cient Emacs 21.4 because of extensive improvements of the provided desktop and editing environment. A number of newly supported version control systems, thumbnail-supported browsing of directories with graphics files, considerably improved Unicode sup- port for editing, desktop interaction and input, syntax highlighting activated by default, new ports for Windows, Mac OS X and GTK+ using the native toolkits for graphic support and toolbars and providing a native, well integrated look for those desktop environments, transparent access to files accessible with su, sudo, ssh and other shell accounts: those provide, among numerous improved details and fixes, quite a bit of progress for using Emacs as a work environment. Focusing on the creation of LATEX documents, the AUCTEX editing package maintained by the speaker is the most extensively used editing solution for TEX and Emacs, providing previewed material integrated into the source code window with preview-latex, support of source specials and the pdfsync package for lowe- ring the barrier between source code and final output, and delivering a number of ways for formatting and organizing the source code. Syntax highlighting and folding of various constructs and comments render source code more managea- ble.

  • Editor War - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Editor War from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    11/20/13 Editor war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Editor war From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Editor war is the common name for the rivalry between users of the vi and Emacs text editors. The rivalry has become a lasting part of hacker culture and the free software community. Many flame wars have been fought between groups insisting that their editor of choice is the paragon of editing perfection, and insulting the others. Unlike the related battles over operating systems, programming languages, and even source code indent style, choice of editor usually only affects oneself. Contents 1 Differences between vi and Emacs 1.1 Benefits of vi-like editors 1.2 Benefits of Emacs 2 Humor 3 Current state of the editor war 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Differences between vi and Emacs The most important differences between vi and Emacs are presented in the following table: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war 1/6 11/20/13 Editor war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia vi Emacs Emacs commands are key combinations for which modifier keys vi editing retains each permutation of typed keys. are held down while other keys are Keystroke This creates a path in the decision tree which pressed; a command gets executed execution unambiguously identifies any command. once completely typed. This still forms a decision tree of commands, but not one of individual keystrokes. Historically, vi is a smaller and faster program, but Emacs takes longer to start up (even with less capacity for customization. The vim compared to vim) and requires more version of vi has evolved to provide significantly memory.

Chapter 1: Introduction to ESS 1 1 Introduction to ESS The S family (S, Splus and R) and SAS statistical analysis packages provide sophisticated statistical and graphical routines for manipulating data. Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) is based on the merger of two pre-cursors, S-mode and SAS-mode, which provided support for the S family and SAS respectively. Later on, Stata-mode was also incorporated. ESS provides a common, generic, and useful interface, through emacs, to many statistical packages. It currently supports the S family, SAS, BUGS, Stata and XLisp-Stat with the level of support roughly in that order. A bit of notation before we begin. emacs refers to both GNU Emacs by the Free Software Foundation, as well as XEmacs by the XEmacs Project. The emacs major mode ESS[language], where language can take values such as S, SAS, or XLS.
