SEID - SDF Emacs Interface and Documentation (unoffical)

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

  1. If you have not already, setup secure shell 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/seid.git. You could download the project from the website but it would not be as easy to keep it up to date.
  5. If you have one, make a backup copy of your .emacs file in your home directory: mv $HOME/.emacs $HOME/dotemacs.bak
  6. Copy the dotemacs file in the seid directory to your home directory: cp $HOME/seid/dotemacs $HOME
  7. Rename the dotemacs file in the seid directory to .emacs, and move it to your home directory: mv $HOME/seid/dotemacs $HOME/.emacs
  8. Make sure that the shell files in the seid directory are executable. If they are not: chmod +x $HOME/seid/*.sh
  9. Run emacs
  10. 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.
