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 It is probably outdated and for any new visitors to this gist, they should probably consult with official documentation.
