sdf

Code that makes SDF easier to use and more fun with GNU Emacs

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

  1. If you have not already, setup SSH key-based authentication to sdf.org
  2. If you have not already, install Git
  3. If you have not already, install Mosh
  4. Clone the project to your home directory: git clone https://git.sdf.org/scm/sdf.git
  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.
