Can I install Radian outside of .emacs.d? #511

Closed KingCode closed 1 year ago

KingCode commented 1 year ago

This looks veryinteresting, and I am interested in exploring it, but I am afraid to muck with my .emacs.d (see below). Does Radian need to be installed in .emacs.d? It seems that is the case.

I am currently using Chemacs to try out environments safely, which works well for me in trying new environments in parallel - without wrecking my working emacs config. So I would like to install radian in its own dir. and make that dir. user-emacs-directory for Chemacs to point to it, but from I have seen so far it looks like user-emacs-directory is the local user config within the Radian config.

Is there a way to install Radian and try it out without impacting .emacs.d? If not, I would like to suggest a future version with that capability, perhaps creating a new var radian-local-user-emacs-directory or something similar.

Thank you!

Sorry, I just found another post from a user also using Chemacs...will look into that, and reopen this if I have more questions. Thanks!
