erlmacs

Simple script to update your .emacs file for Erlang development

erlmacs automatically configures and updates your Emacs configuration file with support for the emacs mode that is included with Erlang/OTP. It frees you from having to locate the installation directory of Erlang/OTP and its bundled emacs mode. erlmacs now automatically detects and supports ~/.emacs.el and ~/.emacs.d/init.el in addition to ~/.emacs as configuration file locations.

Requirements

• Erlang (with the escript command in the PATH)
• Emacs

Installation

• Download or save the erlmacs file
• If you're using a UNIX-like system such as macOS, Linux, or BSD make this script executable: chmod +x erlmacs
• Otherwise execute it as follows: escript erlmacs [command]

Example usage

./erlmacs [command] or escript erlmacs [command]

where [command] is one of the following:

install     Add erlmacs configuration to .emacs file
remove      Remove erlmacs configuration from .emacs file
update      Update existing erlmacs configuration in .emacs file
