Installation

Prerequisites

We want to get Cabbage working under as many different circumstances as possible. We are aiming to make the configuration as platform independent as possible. So all you need to use cabbage is Emacs 24 or later.

Automatic installation

$ /usr/bin/env bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/senny/cabbage/master/scripts/install.sh)"

Manual installation

$ git clone https://github.com/senny/cabbage.git
$ cd cabbage
$ ./scripts/install.sh

Microsoft Windows

If youre under Microsoft Windows, please follow the Windows installation guide.

Bundles

Cabbage fundamental organization are bundles. You can enable and disable the configuration on a per bundle basis. The bundles live in cabbage/bundles. The active bundles are configured in your ~/.emacs.d/config.el file in the cabbage-bundles variable. Check out the bundles directory to see whats currently available.

Local bundles

It also to create private / local bundles if something does not belong into the cabbage core. It is quite easy:

• Create a local bundles directory, e.g. ~/.emacs.d/bundles
• Create your bundle, for example ~/.emacs.d/bundles/secret-stuff/bundle.el
• Register the bundles directory at the top of your ~/.emacs.d/local.el by adding this line:

(add-to-list 'cabbage-bundle-dirs (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/bundles/"))

• Add secret-stuff to your bundles list in ~/.emacs.d/config.el
• You can also create a local vendors directory and register it with:

(add-to-list 'cabbage-vendor-dirs (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/vendor/"))

• Take a look on how the existing bundles work.
