Thanks, i hit the same problem, and this solved it (MacOS).
Right under the installation code snippet with use-package
there is a link to other methods of installation which show the melpa way. I do agree that perhaps showing use-package
as the default installation method might not be the best for those who don't know about the package.
Yes, but the issue is that in order to use use-package
, you have to first install use-package
with MELPA, and unless you know this already, well.. you don't know this already.
The installation instructions say to add
use-package
to your.emacs
. This neglects to mention that before you do this, you actually have to have:package-refresh-contents
use-package
Otherwise, you will get all manner of cryptic Lispy error messages.
At least on Ubuntu 22.04, these things are not done for you when you install Emacs.
