4. Clone the project to your home directory: git **clone https://git.sdf.org/scm/sdf.git**. Note, you could download the
project from the website, but it would not be as easy to keep up to date.
5. Copy the dotemacs file in the sdf directory to your home directory: **cp $HOME/sdf $HOME**
6. If you have one, make a backup copy of your .emacs file in your home directory: **mv $HOME/.emacs $HOME/dotemacs.bak**
7. Rename the dotemacs file in the sdf directory to .emacs, and move it to your home directory: **mv $HOME/dotemacs $HOME/.emacs**
8. Make sure that the shell files in the sdf directory are executable. If they are not: **chmod +x $HOME/sdf/*.sh**
9. Run *emacs*
10. Switch to the SDF programs' buffer to use that program. Example, to use the com program, do the following: **C-x b** (that is
Emacs notation for, while holding down the control key, press the x key, release the control key, press the b key), type **com**,
press the **enter key**. Select other SDF programs, like bboard the same way.
