I am a vim user and completely new to Emacs. My company doesn't support a good python IDE and I decide to change to spacemacs (installing vim tool will require too many access to github.)
The company firewall exists so I also can't find a regular way to install spacemacs without using github. A company firewall exists for most large companies. So a way to setup spacemacs in the presence of a firewall is important.
I have tried several methods of installing spacemacs but none of them work. I am desperate to install spacemacs on my company's linux and the company doesn't have access to github (at least I can't figure out a way to build a proxy to git). I download spacemacs from http://spacemacs.org/ and unzip the file to ~/.emacs.d.
Then I tried emacs --insecure, all the 90 packages cannot be installed：
The error messages are: Packages xx is not available.
If I use emacs --debug-init, then the messages are:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (No such file or directory "bind-map" require(bind_map) )
I also set the proxy in the init.el so emacs can （May) have access to internet:
(setq url-proxy-services '(("no_proxy" . "work\\.com")
("http" . "proxy.work.com:911")))

I am using spacemacs and I am attempting to install packages with M-x "package install $package-name". The particular package I am trying to install is SLY, A newer implementation of The SLIME REPL for Common Lisp. When I Install the package when I start up spacemacs it works fine. However when exiting spacemacs it somehow gets deleted. After googling this issue I found this page https://develop.spacemacs.org/doc/FAQ.html. I followed the instructions and changed my .spacemacs config. I added the line dotspacemacs-install-packages 'used-but-keep-unused. What am I doing wrong.
You should add your personal packages to dotspacemacs-additional-packages
Recently I pass to Emacs org because is really convenient to me to write note there.
So I installed all packages I needed (principally ORG and EVIL) but I didn't understand how to setup everything.
I installed emacs from brew without using cask, I linked it, and I'm sure that I'm using the version that I installed (26.1).
So in my ~/ folder I have a .emacs file in which I set up evil mode, and I have a /.emacs.d/ in which I have a lot of file. The problem is: whatever I wrote in a ~/.emacs.d/init.el seems doesn't effect emacs.
So I said "whatever, I'm going on github and I installed some complete configurations and then I customized them myself". I tried to install these two configurations.
https://github.com/hrs/dotfiles
https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs?files=1
But for some reason, after doing exactly what they say on README.org
nothing happens.
In particular the second link, after install and open emacs said I need to have ~/.cask/.cask.el but I don't have it.
Advice?
Update
Apparently, the auto-complete package is not the culprit.
Emacs fails to download melpa archive.
A quick google search indicates that this is a reappearing problem both on windows and unix machines.
As there are already threads concerning failed to download 'melpa' archive (none of which helped unfortunately) this thread may or may not be closed.
Inital Question
I'm trying to set up emacs for Common Lisp.
I installed sbcl and the slime package.
Some time ago I used to have auto completion for Common Lisp keywords in emacs such that - while typing - it suggested a word via a greyed out completion (TAB for acceptance) or via drop down or both. (I can't remember exactly.)
I'm struggling to get this working again.
At https://github.com/purcell/ac-slime it is suggested to first install auto-complete but when I type package-list-packages there is no such package. (But there are plenty named auto-complete-*).
(I set up Melpa with:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")))
The provided link http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/ is dead as well.M-x install-package [RET] auto-complete [RET] also fails. Emacs says: [No match]
So my question is:
If there is no auto-complete package anymore, what is a good way to set up Common Lisp auto completion in emacs in the way mentioned above (greyed out word or dropdown)?
The current home-page for auto-complete is https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete
Installing it should be enough to allow you to use ac-slime (there is also a completion version using company).
Here is how I got it to work.
Download the .ZIP archive with repository here.
Unzip
Run M-x package-install-file
On the prompt, specify the path to the downloaded repository and the file named auto-complete.el.
Make sure that installation returns something along the lines of "Successful"
Add this line to your Emacs initialization file (.emacs):
(ac-config-default)
To auto-complete in SLIME, follow similar step to install ac-slime (requires SLIME and Auto-complete)
P.S. There is another package called company (stands for Complete Anything), which is quite good as an alternative. I am trying it out now. Getting it to work was very simple.
I'm pretty new to emacs and I'm currently trying to configure it properly for my needs, but I can't make it load web-mode at all.
So, this is what I've done:
Downloaded web-mode.el from GitHub
Made sure the file is located in the correct directory: ~/.emacs.d/web-mode.el
Used the installation instructions from the official page
My .emacs file now looks like this
Issue:
When I'm trying to edit any of the file types specified in the .emacs file, it only runs the default modes. PHP Abbrev for PHP etc... I'm not receiving any error messages and when I'm running --debug-init it does not give any output.
Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.9) of 2012-03-01 on sl6.fnal.gov
OS: Scientific Linux
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this further, or have solved similar issues?
You should let el-get install it for you. El-get is a package manager for emacs. It can install packages from github, emacswiki, elpa, an url, … http://wikemacs.org/index.php/El-get
It's very handy, you can update scripts easily, it manages dependencies, it lets you discover many stuff, you can easily share your config accross machines, etc.
Emacs 24 has package.el or ELPA by default. One can install it on emacs 23, but my experience isn't conclusive so I'd advise sticking with el-get, which is great.
There's a fragment from a GTD setup:
;; Explicitly load required exporters
(require 'ox-html)
(require 'ox-latex)
(require 'ox-ascii)
Cannot open load file.
They should be a part of org-mode, shouldn't they? No files like ox-html.el appear to be present on the system (Linux, Emacs 24.3.1). Google results are scarce and confusing. Do I have to install something?
These files are valid since Org 8. Are you sure you have that version installed? If you use the builtin Emacs version, odds are high it's not the case. Then, install locally via ELPA, a tarball / zip file, or the Git development branches.
