OOPS!!! This is kinda obselete now - im running emacs live. Remember - emacs-live does not play well with emacs-snapshot. Use 24.5 (or 25) instead.

Installing

If not using the broscript, beware to put aside your ~/.emacs.d and /.emacs. Create ~/.emacs-live Your stuff lives in ~/.live-packs/username-pack/ In there you'll find init.el (to be used in conjunction with ~/.emacs-live). i.e if your using ox-reveal with org-mode, load package archives in ~/.emacs-live (or, ~/.emacs.d/init.el);

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives    
			'("marmalade" . "https://marmalade.org/packages/") t) 
(add-to-list 'package-archives    
			'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")) 
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))
;; load packages installed with package managers
(package-initialize)

;;create this directory
(live-append-packs '(~/.live-packs/yourUsername-pack))

org-mode and org-reveal

org-mode with emacs-live see http://jr0cket.co.uk/2013/08/configure-emacs-org-mode-to-manage-your-tasks.html.html for instructions where to put your org file and notes file (and where to add emacs config data for it).

In short, create this file; ~/.live-packs/you-username/config/org-mode.el inside it, tell where your notes/org file lives. For example; (setq org-default-notes-file "~/my-org-files/my-todo-list.org")

Now, add this (live-load-config-file "org-mode.el") to ~/.live-packs/yourUsername/init.el

Start adding notes and todos with M-x org-capture. Select default template t.

org-reveal Download ox-reveal from https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal Place it in lib folder in ~/.live-packs/username-pack/lib/ox-reveal Load it in ~/live-packs/mattische-pack/init.el;

(live-add-pack-lib "ox-reveal")
(require 'ox-reveal)

Either download reveal.js, and invoke it, or set the path to it in every .org-file with;

#+REVEAL_ROOT: http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/reveal.js/3.0.0/

and perhaps a title;

#+TITLE: my title

Windows

On windows I had to use version >25. Your home folder is: C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming

place emacs inside that folder (makes life a little easier). Place package archives in ~/.emacs.d/init.el rather than ~/.emacs-live.el.

---

Contents

• get emacs snapshot for ubuntu
• emacs + go == true
• go stuff for emacs
• Other emacs stuff (font size, line numbering etc)

if on windows, rememeber, your .emacs and .emacs.d resides in c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming

(require 'package)
		(add-to-list 'package-archives    
			'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))    
		(when (< emacs-major-version 24)  
			;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib  
			(add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))    
		(package-initialize)

get latest version of emacs (snapshot) on ubuntu

Get the latest version (snapshot) of emacs by adding elisp repo:
$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-elisp
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-nox

The process of enabling go support in emacs snapshot, should be the same as for older versions (follow instrunctions below i.e)

go-autocomplete in emacs24-nox (ubuntu)

• go-code
  It is assumed that you have a working go environment, including GOPATH. Also, we need gocode - follow url below.
  For the curious - see setup for GOPATH and gocode here; https://github.com/nsf/gocode#setup
  $ go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode

  It is recommended to have your GOPATH/bin dir in your path to make gocode work correctly.
  Example in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile;

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin  
    export GOPATH=~/go                       # ~/go is the go workspace
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin            # recommended to add bin   
  

• Install auto-complete
  Make sure you have the correct entries for melpa in your .emacs. Enter this into your ~/.emacs;

    (require 'package) ;; You might already have this line  
    (add-to-list 'package-archives    
    	'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))    
    (when (< emacs-major-version 24)  
    	;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib  
    	(add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))    
    (package-initialize) ;; You might already have this line  
  

  (source: http://stable.melpa.org/#/getting-started)

  Now install auto-complete from within emacs;
  M-x package-install <ret> auto-complete <ret>
  Also, install go-mode;
  M-x package-install <ret> go-mode <ret>

• copy go-autocomplete.el
  When you installed gocode in the first step, it installed go-autocomplete in your go workspace dir.
  You should copy the go-autocomplete.el to a directory available in your emacs loadpath. A standard way of adding own stuff is to add a lisp directory inside your ~/.emacs.d
  $mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/lisp
  then copy go-autocomplete into it;
  $ cp ~/your_go_workspace/src/github.com/nsf/gocode/emacs/go-autocomplete.el ~/.emacs.d/lisp/
  To add that directory to emacs loadpath, open up your ~/.emacs and add this line;
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")

  Now add these lines to your ~/.emacs (load go-autocomplete);
  (require 'go-autocomplete)
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)

  Look here; https://github.com/nsf/gocode#emacs-setup

Example of complete ~/.emacs;

	(require 'package) ;; You might already have this line
	(add-to-list 'package-archives
	             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
	(when (< emacs-major-version 24)
	  ;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib
	  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
	(package-initialize) ;; You might already have this line
	
	(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
	
	(require 'go-autocomplete)
	(require 'auto-complete-config)
	(ac-config-default)

Now you're good to go!

other stuff

You might also want to add hooks for building when saving and the go-oracle.


Some other useful stuff;

		go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode  
		go get -u -v github.com/rogpeppe/godef  
		go get -u -v github.com/golang/lint/golint  
		go get -u -v github.com/lukehoban/go-find-references  
		go get -u -v github.com/lukehoban/go-outline  
		go get -u -v sourcegraph.com/sqs/goreturns  
		go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename  

line number and increasing font size

increase font size
from emacs 23 and above increasing font size is easy with this command inside emacs; C-x C-+
decrease with; C-x C--

Or in emacs; M-x text-scale-increase and M-x text-scale-decrase respectivley.

enable line numbers

1. turn it on or off with M-x global-linum-mode
2. or in your ~/emacs: (global-linum-mode 't)
