My Emacs Config

Emacs Config preconfigured for org-roam(including server), org-brain, pdftools and a range of bibleography and note-taking tools.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

  • You have installed the latest version of Emacs
  • Windows 10 (64bit) or Kali(Linux), should work on other OS's but those are the ones I've tested.
  • (Reccomended) Msys2 which I believe is a compatiblity layer, though if I'm honest I'm not entirely sure.
  • (Optional) A TeX distribution, I use TeXLive as it's cross platform but it's completely upto you. Having a TeX processor allows you to export Org-notes to TeX or PDF while adding typsetting support.

Installing My Emacs Config

Clone or download this repository

Then to install the repository, follow these steps:

Windows:

  1. Create a symlink from where emacs expects to find the .emacs file to where you've placed it, or move it to that expected location.

Expected location(Vista and up):

C:/Users/<Username>/AppData/Roaming/.emacs

Symlink (run in command prompt):

mklink C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.emacs 
  1. Open the .emacs file with a text editor and change things to match your filestructure, things you need to change will are commented "MUST" "SHOULD" & "MAY", see also the aesthetics-example.el
  2. Enter <Win>+R + "C:\Program Files\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe" + RET
  3. Use-package will start installing things: Go make a cup of tea/coffee
  4. Delete org-brain.elc (in .emacs.d/elpa/org-brain-xxxx/), this fixes a known issue
  5. Right-click and select edit on .emacs.d/win/org-protocols.reg and check the path is correct then double-click the program to run.
  6. Done :)

Linux:

  1. Create a symlink from where emacs expects to find .emacs to where you've placed it, or move it to the correct location.

Expected location:

/home/<username>/.emacs

Symlink

ln -s /path/to/this/repo/.emacs ~/.emacs
  1. Open the .emacs file with a text editor and change things to match your filestructure, things you need to change will are commented "MUST" "SHOULD" & "MAY", see also the aesthetics-example.el
  2. Enter <Win> + "Emacs" + RET
  3. Use-package will start installing things: Go make a cup of tea/coffee
  4. Delete org-brain.elc (in .emacs.d/elpa/org-brain-xxxx/), this fixes a known issue
  5. Done :)
