Setup emacs in Mac OS

The setup is much harder than I thought...

1) using homebrew installs the emacs and guile. Then, I also need to add path in the .bash_profile to launch the up-to-date emacs rather than the original version 22.1 shipped with the os.
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.3/bin:$PATH
2) Enable the Meta key in terminal, or similar position for iterm2.

After these two steps, the following is more straightforward.

3) I accidentally found this "emacs-starter-kit", which had 2300+ stared and really saved my day. Just follow the instruction and everything will be fine.

In current state, I feel emacs kind of like vim+tmux. Anyway, learning new knowledge is always a pleasure, especially about this kind of "legacy" stuff.


cheers,

[UPDATE: after changed the loading sequence of bash in /etc/paths/ the first step seems unnecessary... actually, that was something I should do as soon as I used homebrew to port packages. http://bit.ly/IUVl9a
