Dear all,
I currently use Emacs 27.2 (9.0) and need to update to the last version.
No idea how my current Emacs was installed on my Mac.
In case this helps, when I do on Terminal:
§ which -a- emacs
/usr/local/bin/emacs
/opt/local/bin/emacs
/usr/local/bin/emacs
What would the way to go to update my emacs to the last version without
affecting any of my configuration or packages?
Thanks!
G.

You probably installed it via brew.
https://brew.sh

I would install railwaycat as it's built with mac stuff in mind (such as
trackpad zoom, mac modifier keys, etc...)
https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport
It's installed via brew as well and works very nicely. It'll upgrade you
to 28.1 and should be fairly painless.
Note:
You'll probably have paths to it such as:
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-28.1-mac-9.0
and
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-28.1-mac-9.0/share/emacs/28.1/etc/
Note that /opt is for M1 macs only. If you have an Intel, it will be in
/usr, I think. It won't be hard to find as it sets it up for you and
outputs stuff in the terminal which you should copy/paste into a note to
make sure you remember it (and debug if there are any problems).
I hope this helps!
One more thing to note: I'm pretty new to it all, I've only been doing
it for a couple of months, but I figured I would reply and see if I can
help from my own experience. Also, I literally write everything down in
notes (using Prot's denote) so that I don't forget stuff like this. 🙃

Summer.
P.S. If you're just using terminal on a Mac, that's fine, but I would
check out iTerm 2 (completely free and amazing): https://iterm2.com
