Introduction

This is just my Emacs configuration. It auto-installs all packages using mostly elpa and some from el-get.

For a glance of all installed packages check all `user-package’ declarations.

Requirements

These are the necessary packages for all enabled plugins.

Emacs 24.x
Bazaar: for package downloads.
CVS: for package downloads.
Git: for package downloads and magit.
Mercurial: for package downloads.
SVN: for package downloads.
GNU Make: for package builds.
GNU texinfo 4.13[0]: for building builds.
leiningen 2.x: for nrepl and friends.
taglib (development files): For emms-print-metadata build.
python (2.6 or 2.7): for building jedi.
xapian-core: for building mu (mu4e).
libtool: for building mu (mu4e).
gmime: for building mu (mu4e).
sqlite3: for building mu (mu4e).
gtk2: for building mu (mu4e).
webkitgtk2: for building mu (mu4e).

See “Disabling packages” section for a way to avoid some requirements.

[0] Version may (or may not) 5.0 break when building some docs, so far this elpa based config seems to work just fine as I have installed all packages from scratch using it.

Arch GNU/Linux

Installation of all requirements in Arch is quite simple.

sudo pacman -S emacs bzr cvs git mercurial subversion\
 make texinfo taglib python2 xapian-core libtool gmime\
 sqlite3 gtk2 webkitgtk2

Installation

When you meet all requirements, everything should install automatically after you launch Emacs. If some package fail because of a network connection failure or anything, restarting Emacs will continue installation from that point.

There are 3 non-required important files you might want to check out:

~/.emacs.d/secrets.el: This is a file I’m using to store my IRC password and other sensible stuff.
~/.emacs.d/pre-startup.el: This file might contain any lisp that’s intended to be run before all packages are loaded and initialized.
~/.emacs.d/post-startup.el: This file might contain any lisp that’s intended to be run after all packages are loaded and initialized.

Also, if you are using jedi, you need to install a python environment for it to use. You can do so like this:

cd ~/.emacs.d/elpa/jedi-*
make requirements PYTHON=python2  # or the python interpreter of your preference.

Disabling packages

If you don’t want to install some packages you can use the pre-startup.el file to modify the my:disabled-packages variable.

;;; pre-startup.el
;; Avoid installing/loading some packages.
(setq my:disabled-packages '(mu4e o-blog org-mode))

Bug Reports

If you find a configuration bug please report it in the github tracker. Any package bugs must be reported in their upstream bug tracker.

License

See each package located at ~/.emacs.d/el-get/* for their licenses. The ~/.emacs.d/init.el is on the public domain. All ~/.emacs.d/init-*.el and ~/.emacs.d/startup.d/*.el are on the public domain unless otherwise stated in the header.
