Subject: Installing Orgmode through ELPA-tarball
Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:35:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <81zkttmepi.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Just pushed a FAQ on installing Orgmode through ELPA-tarballs to
Worg.. Here is a dump for the sake of record.
** What is the easiest way to install latest version of Orgmode?
The easiest way to install or update Orgmode is through Emacs'
package manager.
Orgmode is distributed as a ELPA-tar from [[http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/][GNU Emacs Lisp Package
Archive]] as well as from [[http://orgmode.org/pkg/daily/][Orgmode Emacs Lisp Archive]].
Steps for adding Orgmode as a package archive:
1. Add Orgmode as a package archive. This can be done in two ways.
1. Use =M-x customize-variable RET package-archives=
2. Add the following line to your =.emacs= and reload Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(push '("Orgmode" . "http://orgmode.org/pkg/daily/") package-archives)
#+end_src
2. Use the Emacs package manager's =M-x list-packages= to browse
and install the latest version.
** How do I install Emacs package manager?
If you are running Emacs-24 or find the command =M-x list-packages=
available you already have the package manager installed.
Steps for installing package manager:
1. Download the latest package manager -
[[http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el][package.el]].
2. Add the following to your =.emacs= and reload Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; change "~/elisp/" as appropiate
(setq load-path (cons "~/elisp" load-path))
(package-initialize)
#+end_src
** I don't see Orgmode as an installation option in Package Manager Menu?
Emacs Package Manager is a very recent addition to Emacs. Work is
under way to have have Orgmode seamlessly integrate with Emacs'
Package Manager. As a result, it will be some time before the
Orgmode packages are available and usable from either GNU or
Orgmode package archives.
In the meanwhile, you can install Orgmode via package manager
through ELPA-compatible tar. Refer [[Installing from ELPA-tar][this FAQ entry]] for more information.
** How do I install Orgmode from a ELPA-compatible tarball?
# <<Installing from ELPA-tar>>
Orgmode is distributed as an ELPA-compatible tar which can be used
in conjunction with Emacs' package manager.
1. If you are already running Orgmode, note the current version
reported by M-x org-version.
2. Download the latest tarball from [[http://orgmode.org/pkg/daily/][Orgmode repo]].
3. Do =M-x package-install-file=. When prompted for =Package file
name=, point it to .tar file downloaded in step 2.
You will now see Package Manager compiling the files and
installing it.
4. Reload emacs. This step is very important.
5. Note the version of the new installation using M-x
org-version. If the new and old versions are different, the
installation is done and you are all set to enjoy the updated
Orgmode. Otherwise skip to step 6.
6. Review you load-path using =C-h v load-path=. Most likely that
your old installation path takes precedence over the path chosen
by package manager (which is typically
=~/.emacs.d/elpa/...=). Fix this anamoly by moving
=(package-initialize)= line in .emacs to a more appropriate
location.
*** Additional Note on =org-install.el=
Functionality of Orgmode's =org-install.el= is supplanted by
Package Manager's =org-autoloads.el=.
Since Package Manager autoloads Orgmode for you, the following
line =(require 'org-install)= in your =.emacs= is no longer
required and can be safely removed.
