SEID - SDF Emacs Interface and Documentation (unoffical)

Installation and use instructions for GNU/Linux and other Unix-like operating systems

If you have not already, setup secure shell key-based authentication to sdf.org
If you have not already, install Git
If you have not already, install Mosh
Clone the project to your home directory: git clone https://git.sdf.org/scm/seid.git. You could download the project from the website but it would not be as easy to keep it up to date.
Copy the dotemacs file in the seid directory to your home directory: cp $HOME/seid $HOME
If you have one, make a backup copy of your .emacs file in your home directory: mv $HOME/.emacs $HOME/dotemacs.bak
Rename the dotemacs file in the seid directory to .emacs, and move it to your home directory: mv $HOME/seid/dotemacs $HOME/.emacs
Make sure that the shell files in the seid directory are executable. If they are not: chmod +x $HOME/seid/*.sh
Run emacs
Switch to the SDF program buffer that is the program that you want to use. 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.
