The GPE is, not GPE, but termed as GPE.
The GPE is an integrated and flexible platform built on Gnu Emacs that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) with around 100 packages as plugins to facilitate learning, teaching, research and project management.
What is “G.P.E”:
- General
- A consistent platform is built with simplicity, modularity and clear communication between integrated facilities.
- Pure
- The entire platform is powered mainly by the pure Turing programming language, elisp.
- Extensible
- This interactive platform is extensible for whatever you want to, even brew coffee with it.

Adhere to the principles (G.P.E) of this platform, the configuration will be crafted with the following key considerations:
- Easy to integrate and debug
- Lower coupling and higher cohesion
- More aggregation and less inheritance
- To precipitate the common into the bottom layers, and make flexible on the top:
- Integrated
- Note-taken
Org-mode has useful functionalities to take notes. Quick to open an file for note-taking, an Org file can be bounded to the key “F1”:(defun open-note-file () "Quickly open an org file for note taking." (interactive) (find-file "~/Documents/Org/note.org")) (global-set-key (kbd "<f1>") 'open-note-file)
Further extended with the Org-Roam (V2) package by saving all the links between files and headings in a database1.
- Programming as an IDE:
- Plan and schedule
- Management for research purposes as below:
- System and Network Administration
- Note-taken
- Custmisable
Nothing cannot be custmised in this General Pure Emacs. For example, mode-line customised by doom-modeline:
- Extensible
- Multiple threading and asynchronous processing
- Scheduler for requests
- Flexible capacity tray
- Focus-oriented
- literate programming2
The literate programming mode, Org-Babel, is able to embed multiple programming languages in a org file to make it as an active document.

- Instructive
The tutorial how to build this platform will be illustrated at the website Something-Good under the ThingsEngine Project.
To enhance the default Emacs experience, the latest stable release (29.1) is recommended.
- Backup your existing configuration
mv ~/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d.bak
- Clone this repository
You should install Git in your system first, as well as set your
username and email, the same for GitHub with SSH public key. See the tutorial of
Git/GitHub.
git clone git@github.com:Ethanlinyf/General-Pure-Emacs.git ~/.emacs.d - Install the dependencies
- Install the needed nerdfonts
- Based on the listed modules in the .gitmodules to install therelated dependencies, for example:
- To fetch the submodules in General Pure Emacs
cd .emacs.dThen, run the following to in a terminal:
git submodule update --init --recursiveAnd to update the submodules, you could use:
git submodule foreach git pull --rebase - Then, open Emacs to install the needed package.
- Yes for “Need to (re)build the epdfinfo program, do it now ?”:
- Your root password might be required to install a pdf-tool server.
- You may need to wait for a while to complete downloading the needed packages.
- GUI with icons
Install nerd fonts, https://www.nerdfonts.com/ \M-x nerd-icons-install-fonts
One more thing, add external tools and language servers to boost your own GPE:
- External tools
- fd
- ripgrep
- sqlite3 (optional, for sqlite3 backend)
- rga (optional, for searching pdf backend)
- pdf-tool
M-x pdf-tools-install - Install Tabnine after the installation of lsp-bridge:
M-x lsp-bridge-install-tabnine
- LSP servers need for:
- pyright for Python
- texlab for LaTeX
- eclipse.jdt.ls for Java
- clangd for C and/or C++
