** Installation Much information can be found at the [[https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/download.html][GNU Emacs Download & Installation]] page. Upgrading to the newest/current version of emacs (if emacs comes preinstalled on ones operating system) will give the best user experience, and it is advised to do so as soon as possible. Here are several resources to assist you as you start or continue your journey with emacs.

*** Linux Use your favorite Linux package manager (e.g. apt, dnf, yum, pacman, etc) or build from [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/][source]]. Typically, either a relatively recent version of emacs or no instance of emacs will be on a default install of one's Linux [[https://distrowatch.com][distribution]].

*** macOS Use [[https://brew.sh][Homebrew]] or [[https://www.macports.org][MacPorts]] to install emacs with a package manager. Also, consider [[https://emacsformacosx.com][Emacs for Mac OS X]] and the Homebrew [[https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus][Emacs Plus]] formula for installation candidates. The preinstalled version of emacs on a default macOS install is quite [[https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/229669/update-emacs-that-comes-with-os-x][old]]. For an optimal emacs experience, upgrading to a newer version is highly recommended.

*** Windows Emacs can be downloaded from the [[http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/][GNU FTP]] or a GNU mirror listed on the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html][GNU Emacs Download & Installation page]], and/or using the [[https://www.msys2.org][MSYS2]] pacman manager. Another option is to install emacs via the [[https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/Emacs][Chocolatey]] or [[https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/emacs.json][scoop]] Windows package managers. A default install of Windows does not contain emacs.

*** Alternative The following resources can be used to build emacs in various environments-- e.g. containerized [[https://www.docker.com][docker]] builds, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration][continuous integration]], building various versions of emacs, etc. - [[https://github.com/rejeep/evm][evm]] - Emacs Version Manager. - [[https://github.com/flycheck/emacs-travis][flycheck/emacs-travis]] - Install emacs on Travis CI. - [[https://github.com/npostavs/emacs-travis][npostavs/emacs-travis]] - Pre-built emacs binaries for Travis CI (fork of flycheck/emacs-travis, significant though in that it is used for CI in projects such as Magit). - [[https://github.com/Silex/docker-emacs][Silex/docker-emacs]] - Run emacs in docker containers (multiple image variants, with options for [[https://ubuntu.com][Ubuntu]] or [[https://alpinelinux.org][Alpine]] Linux based images). - [[https://github.com/JAremko/docker-emacs][JAremko/docker-emacs]] - Dockerized emacs with GUI (Mac, Windows, GNU/Linux and your browser). - [[https://github.com/purcell/nix-emacs-ci][nix-emacs-ci]] - Emacs installations for continuous integration.
