I installed prelude with curl before realizing that the OSX version of emacs is too old for prelude. Now I can't find any documentation on how to remove it and I'm hesitant to just start deleting files in my emacs folder that have the word 'prelude' in them. Is there a command to remove this?
The simplest way is to ask prelude where it is installed. Try this (even if emacs does not fully load all prelude):
ESC-x describe-variable prelude-dir
It will tell you where prelude is being loaded from.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and solved this problem this morning. Here what I do:
cd home/yourusrname
find .emacs and .emacs.d, if not. press Cril + h.
You will also see 2 files named like .emacs-pre-prelude.. and .emacs- pre-prelude.tgz .These are your .emacs and .emacs.d before you install prelude.
del .emacs and .emacs.d
rename .emacs-pre-prelude as .emacs
tar .emacs.d-pre-prelude.tgz find the .emacs.d in it and mv it to your /home/yourusrname/. restart emacs.

I'm trying to install Emacs via Homebrew. Having done this and aliased to my apps folder, I found that when I ran Emacs it came up Spacemacs. I did them remember the system had Spacemacs installed a few years ago. So, I uninstalled Emacs, removed the emacs folders. Now, Homebrew shows no installation of Emacs. However, when I run emacs in the terminal, I still get Spacemacs.
How do I completely remove Spacemacs so I can install "vanilla" Emacs?
I thought I'd look at where Spacemacs is installed and did a "whereis emacs", but nothing but the prompt was returned.
Remove or rename ~/emacs.d folder. Spacemacs is not a different emacs, it's a different way of initializing emacs. The initialization files are in ~/emacs.d.
I realised that Spacemacs was a layer of Emacs. I needed to delete the .spacemacs folder in my user directory. Once done Emacs showed up as vanilla.
To completely remove emacs, I also searched for "emacs" and it found some folders in various bin directories. Once all of this was removed my system was ready for a vanilla emacs installation.
First, check where your emacs loads its configurations. Probably from ~/.emacs.d.
Then, remove the folder or just rename it.
Finally, restart emacs
As of spacemacs, there is another file named .spacemacs, it usually dwells in your home folder. If you remove/rename ~/.emacs.d and do nothing about .spacemacs,emacs will not read .spacemacs.
After many changes on my Debian Jessie, when I launch the command emacs I receive an error libgnutls.so.26 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
If I launch instead the command emacs24 everything is allright.
I have emacs in /usr/local/bin
I have emacs24 in /usr/bin.
So, for now I created an alias to launch emacs24 as emacs, but i don't like and, for example, i have to change the git setting to open the default ide cause emacs is not availlable yet.
The question is where is the correct position of the command ? I have to change my PATH ?
Consider that libgnutls.so.26 is not installable from apt.
Thanks for any suggest or advice.
This is very strange, because a simple sudo dnf install emacs should suffice (I use fedora, so you probably use apt-get instead of dnf). Maybe it is best to just reinstall emacs (backup your .emacs to be safe) using apt-get? Anyhow, in fedora the emacs executable is located at /usr/bin/emacs (which is also the one used in the terminal when you use the emacs command).
I would like to remove the 80 characters per line limit when pylint is checking files in Emacs (I am using the Elpy package for Emacs). I am on Debian Wheezy, and I'm using the backported Emacs24.
I checked the docs out here regarding the pylintrc hierarchy: http://docs.pylint.org/run.html#command-line-options, and tried placing a pylintrc and a .pylintrc file in my working directory with no luck. I also tried putting a .pylintrc in my home directory, again with no effect.
I suppose the question might be asked, "what is my working directory when I call pylint from inside Emacs?". I don't have a good answer to that question...
Where should the pylint configuration file be placed? Should it be .pylintrc or pylintrc?
create file:
~/.flake8rc
[flake8] ignore = E501
#max-line-length = 160
AFAIK emacs flymake is using flake8 by default (?)
Try putting it in:
~/.config/pylintrc
If the ~/.config directory doesn't exist, create it. If that doesn't work try:
~/.pylintrc
You can place the .pylintrc wherever you like and then tell Emacs what to use with...
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq flycheck-python-pylint-executable "~/.local/bin/pylint")
(setq flycheck-pylintrc "~/.emacs.d/settings/.pylintrc")))
I found this answer on the Emacs Stackexchange flycheck cannot find module for pylint and on my system ~/.emacs.d/settings/.pylintrc is a symlink to the rc file from work repository.
I used to take the Programming languages course on Coursera and for the sake of the course i installed SML-Mode.
Now, I'd want to set up a Clojure environment in Emacs but instead of initializing Emacs from ~/.emacs.d, it initializes from the Users/karthik/Documents/sml-mode/sml-mode-startup
I deleted the sml-mode folder and on Emacs startup it shows me a warning about the files not being present. How I do point Emacs to load Emacs Live from the home folder.
I'm an Emacs newbie.
One easy way to do it, is
save you closure settings in /some/dir/my-closure-settings.el and call emacs as the following (to learn about -q -l , try emacs --help )
$ emacs -q -l /some/dir/my-closure-settings.el
or even placing an alias in bashrc,
$ alias closure-emacs='emacs -q -l /some/dir/my-closure-settings.el'
$ closure-emacs # will start emacs with your closure settings.
As you progress in learning some elisp, you will want to do it in one folder.
Assuming you installed Emacs yourself, and this SML-mode was an independent package, then I would speculated that it may have modified your site-start.el.
See if running emacs --no-site-file makes a difference.
If that's the issue, you can visit the file with:
M-: (find-library site-run-file) RET
You might also check:
C-hv user-emacs-directory RET
when running emacs in various ways:
emacs
emacs --no-site-file
emacs -q
emacs -Q
Unless it's a custom binary, at some point it should tell you "~/.emacs.d/"
Installing SML-mode does not change the place of the main initialization file, which is one of ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el. So look at those files (which ever of the two is present), and if none is present, then just create it and add what you need in it.
BTW, it looks like you're using an old sml-mode package (the newer one doesn't have an sml-mode-startup.el file). So please try and make sure the documentation that pointed you to that mode is updated: nowaday sml-mode should be installed from GNU ELPA, i.e. via M-x package-list or M-x package-install.
What do you add to your .emacs file to use msysgit bash inside emacs ?
I just modified the cygwin instructions for msysgit replace cygwin with msysgit everywhere in these .
The only thing i can't do is run ssh or vim inside the bash...
directory completions work with windows style drive names prepended at the beginning.
Add this to your "_emacs.el" - it works for me:
;; When running in Windows, we want to use an alternate shell so we
;; can be more unixy.
(setq shell-file-name "C:/Program Files/msysgit/bin/bash")
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
Update May 2018: Git 2.18 (Q2 2018) has now removed the contrib/emacs/ content.
Users of the git.el mode are now much better off using either Magit or the Git backend for Emacs's own VC mode.
See "Emacs Lisp error at init" for more.
Original answer 2011:
Not tested, but the idea was (2008) to copy in your Git installation directory at least:
contrib\emacs\git.el
contrib\emacs\git-mswin.el
With git-mswin.el being "Windows/msysgit specific modifications for git.el".
