Those people can use the "emacs" command that comes with OS X. Trouble is, they'll get Emacs version 22, which is old. If you're reading this list, you have Aquamacs, so you already have a better Emacs installed. David described a new way to start Aquamacs, so that it's compatible with running inside a Terminal window.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">My post was about problems I had getting it to work.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I have MacPorts, so I could easily install a newer version of Emacs.

</span>1- Install MacPorts, from <a href="https://www.macports.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.macports.org/</a><br>
<a href="https://www.macports.org/install.php" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.macports.org/install.php</a><br>
<br>
2- sudo port install emacs<br>
<br>
This installs emacs 24.5.1 in /opt/local/bin/emacs<br>
<br>
<br>
Or download, compile and install it yourself with a single line in the Terminal.app:<br>
<br>
VERSION=24.5 ; wget <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-${VERSION}.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-${VERSION}.tar.gz</a> && tar zxf emacs-${VERSION}.tar.gz && cd emacs-${VERSION} && ./configure && make && sudo make install<br>
<br>
This installs the latest emacs 24.5 in /usr/local/bin/emacs<br>
<br>
The advantage of downloading and compiling your own emacs is that you<br>
can adjust the configuration, passing the parameters you want or need<br>
for your specific case.<br>
