install routine for recommended Common LISP configuration
Raw
emacs-lisp.md

Fire up a terminal:

Install Emacs (IDE):

sudo apt-get install emacs

Install SBCL (Compiler):

sudo apt-get install sbcl

Install Quicklisp (Quicklisp is a library manager for Common Lisp.)

This is done by copy-and-pasting all bold commands in the grey box here: https://www.quicklisp.org/

Install SLIME by using Quicklisp: In the terminal run SBCL:

sbcl

(ql:quickload "quicklisp-slime-helper")

(quit)

SBCL will warn you about having to edit your ~/.emacs file. Do not ignore it

Now inside Emacs to start SLIME type:

M-x slime

Which is Alt+x slime.

Now you're ready to play with LISP.
