Installing psgmlx

Installation is straightforward. There are two main steps:

i. byte-compiling the elisp source files, and
ii. adding a few lines to your .emacs file.

Step I: the test script

Note

The test script will not modify any or place any files outside of the package directory.

This script allows you to test the package by typing a single command. It compiles all the elisp sources and loads sample files in new frames with new X resource settings.

Running the test script

  1. Uncompress the tarball somewhere. Rename it if you want.

  2. Change into the psgmlx directory.

  3. Execute the test script: $ ./test

  4. Unless you say not to, sample files will be loaded into multiple frames of a fresh copy of Emacs. Read the intro that pops up and test the new setup with the sample files.

  5. Read the Usage Notes

A few additional installation steps will be necessary if you plan to use the package on a regular basis. See the Installation Details for more information.
