| This command is run in the standard Linux environment via the Terminal Activity. The GUI will probably not integrate comfortably with the XO Laptop's Sugar environment. Your user experience may vary considerably depending on the established environment and the other programs running on the laptop, may need re-installation after an OS Update. See the Linux software category for other commands. |
- This page collects information on working with Emacs specifically on the XO.
- Emacs is an extensible text-editor, customizable through Emacs Lisp
- It runs from the terminal, not from within the Sugar desktop, so is mainly of use to developers.
- For general Emacs information, please see http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs or http://www.emacswiki.org/
How do I install Emacs?
enter the Terminal_Activity and type
su yum install emacs
as found here
Running Emacs
Since Emacs was installed from the terminal, and not as an activity, it must be started from the terminal.
emacs -nw
will start Emacs in text mode within terminal.
