Questions I found, that might be addressed in an getting started guide:
sudo apt install emacs-gtk ripgrep git
So I still don't know how to install the suggested version of Emacs with native compliation or where to find an guide on how to do so...emacs --batch -f nerd-icons-install-fonts
Maybe this aspect could be added to the guide as wellI am aware of all these issues and more with our outdated docs and am already working on it.
Just a comment: by the time of writing, the following Emacs port (v29.1) works flawlessly on macOS Sonoma:
brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
brew install emacs-mac --with-modules
ln -s /usr/local/opt/emacs-mac/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app
I used brew install emacs-plus@29 --with-modern-doom3-icon
before but it had some glitches when I upgraded to macOS Sonoma. Eventually the above port was the one which worked "out of the box".
A workaround however is needed to fix the "large title bar on macOS Sonoma" issue (see #7532) by placing the following code into config.el
:
;; workaround for large title bar on macOS Sonoma
;; see https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/issues/7532
(add-hook 'doom-after-init-hook (lambda () (tool-bar-mode 1) (tool-bar-mode 0)))
I confirm that...
Expected behavior
I am new to Doom Emacs and are in need of an guide on how to install Doom Emacs, preferably on Linux and MacOS. The getting started page or the README.md should have the most current informations on how to install Doom Emacs
Current behavior
The getting started page was updated last in 2021 and shows (I think) not current suggestions. the README.md page is more current - but it lakes information on where to find an guide on how to install the most current version of Emacs. The provided links are leading to an page where it suggests ways to install Emacs 28.
Many blogposts show different ways on how to install Doom Emacs - but there should be an official current guide? And maybe an suggestion on which Emacs version I should choose, if start fresh - I guess the current one, in this case 29?
Any link or hint for an current guide on how to install Doom Emacs would be greatly appreciated
Steps to reproduce
Go to https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org and try to figure out from the information provided, how to install the current version of Emacs... And what version you should choose.
System Information
I couldn't install it yet, still looking for an current guide on how to do so....
