Error trying out emacs configuration

[John Alberts]

Hi. I thought I'd try out your emacs configuration and I'm getting an error message.

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/Users/johnalb/.emacs.d/early-init.el’:
File is missing: Opening input file, No such file or directory, /Users/johnalb/.emacs.d/straight/repos/emacsmirror-mirror/mirror

What I've done at this point is: (I'm on a mac)

1. Cloned the radian repo to a directory under my home directory
2. create a new ~/.emacs.d directory.
3. Per the readme, symlink'd ./emacs/init.el => ~/.emacs.d/init.el, ./emacs/early-init.el => ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el, ./emacs/versions.el => ~/.emacs.d/straight/versions/radian.el

From the error message, it seemed like ~/.emacs.d/straight/repos directory was also needed, so I created it, but that didn't help.

I tried again today and everything worked after it finished downloading every. So maybe there was a temporary network issue? I didn't change the configuration at all, so not sure. 🤷‍♂️
Thank you for your work on this and providing it to the public.

That's very odd. Glad you got it working! It seems like somehow the Emacsmirror recipe repository was not cloned completely, although it's unclear how that's possible since Git generally deletes a repository when it fails to finish cloning.
