Install Emacs and Spacemacs on Ubuntu

spacemacs.sh

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential wget gcc g++ texinfo libx11-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev libgtk2.0-dev libncurses-dev 

#Download Emacs 24.5+ source code

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-24.5.tar.gz

tar -zxvf emacs-24.5.tar.gz

cd emacs-24.5
./configure
make
sudo make install

#Download spacemacs and install
git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d

Actually, these days the standard apt-get packages are good enough (for 16.04 and beyond), unless you must have the latest and greatest.

What I do (YMMV, use at own risk, etc):

cd
sudo apt-get install emacs
mv .emacs .emacs.old
mv .emacs.d .emacs.d.old
git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d

Then it is just a matter of booting emacs :)

You should not download Emacs without TLS.

Segmentation fault (core dumped) haha during make install, but the installation still worked!

I usually just install emacs from the apt repository and then clone the spacemacs repo.

apt install emacs25

You should not download Emacs without TLS.

Why? Isn't the only point of TLS to prevent other people from seeing the network traffic contents?

Exactly.

p.s. I don't use spacemacs anymore, and this is a gist i had completely forgotten about. It is probably outdated and for any new visitors to this gist, they should probably consult with official documentation.

Installed emacs & spacemacs too, but after startiing emacs, still emacs starts.
What did i did wrong?
