In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing GNU Emacs on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation of GNU Emacs, it is essential to update and upgrade the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo dnf update -y
Fedora does not come with snapd (the package manager for snaps) enabled out of the box. Before we can install GNU Emacs, we need to install snapd. Run the following command to install snapd:
sudo dnf install snapd -y
Once snapd is installed, we can now proceed with the installation of GNU Emacs. Run the following command to install GNU Emacs:
sudo snap install emacs --classic
The --classic flag allows the snap to access host resources such as hardware ports and system files.
After the installation is complete, you can verify whether the installation was successful by running the following command:
emacs --version
This should display the GNU Emacs version installed on your system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GNU Emacs on Fedora CoreOS Latest. With GNU Emacs installed, you can now use it to edit text files, write programs, and more. Happy coding!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
