The following example assumes this location is `src/' in your home directory: $ cd ~/src/ $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git In most cases, you will probably want to run `make install' to install Org with the Emacs system files. Please run `make help' to get the full list of options. If, for some reason, you would like to run Org from the clone location, remember to set the load-path correctly in your `.emacs'. Continuing from the previous example: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp") Note that in this case, `make autoloads' is mandatory: it defines Org's version in `org-version.el' and Org's autoloads in `org-loaddefs.el'. Continuing from the example: $ cd org-mode $ make autoloads You can also compile with `make', generate the documentation with `make doc', or create a local configuration with `make config'. A detailed explanation of Org's build system can be found at the Org Build System page on Worg (http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html). All the best, Tom -- Thomas S.
