Upgrading org-mode--Windows

Upgrading org-mode--Windows

[Michael Dixon]

I apologize in advance if this question is off-topic/inappropriate, but 
the version of org-mode packaged with emacs 22.1 for Windows is 4.67, 
while the latest current version is 5.13. I can't seem to figure out how 
to update the org-mode package in Windows. Any help?

Michael,

1. Download http://orgmode.org/org-5.13d.zip
2. Extract it to your home directory, in a folder such as .elisp/org
3. Add the following to your .emacs before any other org customizations.
Change the directory to match where you put org.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org")
4. I think that's it.

Good luck,
Scott

You will need to install your own copy.  I'm not sure the way I do it
is the best, but it's easy.  First you will need to download the
latest org-mode and unpack it in some temp directory.

    Next you will have to determine when you want you're copy to go.
On windows, I run emacs under cygwin, and I put a .emacs_packages
directory in my home directory where I put my addons.  You can use any
directory so pick something that works for how you organize things.

    Once you have you directory, copy all the .el files from the
unpacked org archive into it.  This will probably be org-install.el,
org-mouse.el,  org-publish.el  & org.el.

    Now you need to tell emacs to load files from you directory.  I
have the following in my .emacs.  Modify as needed.
    ;; set up my own package directory
    (setq load-path
          (append (list nil "~/.emacs_packages")
                  load-path))

The rest of what I have may not be needed by you.
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
    (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
    (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)  ; org-mode buffers only
    (require 'org-install)

After this is in place you can start emacs, open on org-buffer and do
M-x org-version to verify what you are running.  I just noticed that I
append to the load-path.  You may need to put you directory on the
front of the list.
