# Kill-9's Emacs things
|
|
|
|
Emacs (short for Editor MACroS) is a text editor[^1] made by some
|
|
weird guy in the late 70s, and had too many implementations, such as
|
|
Xemacs, Freemacs, µEmacs (microemacs). in 1984 (lmao), the GNU project ~~stole~~
|
|
rewrote the original Emacs code and the most used version of Emacs was
|
|
born: GNU Emacs.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
Windows users: <https://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/GNU/emacs/windows/> (Or their nearly GNU mirror)
|
|
|
|
Mac Users: brew install emacs, I guess.
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux users: probably the "emacs" package on your distro's repos
|
|
|
|
BSD users: pkg install emacs, probably? or check /usr/ports
|
|
|
|
Plan 9 users: What are you doing here?
|
|
|
|
# Other versions of Emacs
|
|
|
|
As mencioned above, there are other versions of emacs, most of them
|
|
are obsolete (Xemacs for example). µEmacs is the emacs version used
|
|
by Linus Torvalds[^2] I do not recommend to use it. If you want to use
|
|
a mini Emacs, you should try [Zile](https://gnu.org/software/zile) or
|
|
[Jed](http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/). Zile is stupidly minimum while Jed
|
|
has syntax highlighting and other kind of programs. But not close to
|
|
real GNU Emacs.
|

|
|
You can find more about Emacs on the sidebar.

[^1]: Some people call it a "operating system", but I prefer to call it a Emacs Lisp interpreter.
