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.

Python mode


What about alternatives?

  • vi and Nano should already be available through the Terminal activity.
  • Install MicroEMACS by copying this file to the laptop.
  • Zile may be closer to what you expect from Emacs. Install this rpm file to get it.
