How can I get access to the org-mode manual from within emacs?
I've seen this suggested:
C-h i m Org Mode RET
But the org-mode manual isn't available that way in emacs 24.3.1. Is there a melpa package or something similar I can install to get the org-manual in emacs info mode?
If you are on Ubuntu, Debian or a related distributions, do:
apt-get install emacs24-common-non-dfsg
While the Org Mode manual is part of the standard Emacs distributions, Debian, Ubuntu and related distributions do not include it in their Emacs packages, as their understanding of truly free software is subtly different from the FSF's. You'll need to install it separately.
In Section
"How do I update the info manual pages to the latest org-mode version?" of http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html there is a hint where you find the texi-files.
You can build the info manual pages from these ones.

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/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?
When I tried to install flycheck package on emacs24, it show error that let-alist1.0.1 unavailable. But I heard that let-alist is built-in package of emacs25, I wonder is there any work-around for emacs24?
let-alist is available from ELPA. Use
M-x list-packages
to pull up a list of available packages, then search for let-atlist (C-M-s as usual). Then install it. See also here.
Alternatively, you can download it from here and install it manually. ELPA is easier, though.
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.
I learned that CEDET comes built in emacs 24.3.1 which I have installed.
Unfortunately, all tutorials online instruct you to install CEDET and provide you with config files that refer and load the installed packages and files.
How is it possible to configure the built in CEDET and use it without any external installation?
I am not sure how to take advantage of the built in version.
It's circa Emacs 23, but Alex Ott's A Gentle Introduction to CEDET still looks relevant to the built-in version? (it covers both versions).
I lost my installation of Dave Gillespie's calc.el by reinstalling Cygwin. It is not included with the default Cygwin install of Emacs. Who is considered the master maintainer these days? Is version 2.02f still most current?
In the Emacs CVS tree. See the calc page and the Emacs project page. The root of the calc subtree is here and you can get the latest version by typing
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous#cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs/lisp/calc
Thanks to Jouni making it clear that GNU does maintain Emacs Calc, I have figured out that there is a Cygwin install of Emacs that does include Calc. The necessary step is forcing Cygwin Setup to install Emacs 22.1-3 instead of the default 21.2-13. I have sent a report to the cygwin#cygwin.com mailing list to get this repaired.
