This is a bash script to automate the installation of Emacs on Ubuntu 22 with Wayland.
You can run the script with different flags to modify its behavior. The available options are:
-h: Display the help message and exit.-p DIRECTORY: Specify the Emacs installation directory. The default is$HOME/emacs.-u URL: Specify the remote URL of the Emacs Git repository. The default is https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git.-y: Skip all prompts and directly proceed with the installation and configuration steps.-s [OPTIONS]: Specify the exact steps to execute. Available steps are:install_deps,kill_emacs,remove_emacs,pull_emacs,build_emacs,install_emacs,fix_emacs_xwidgets,copy_emacs_icon. Steps should be separated by commas. By default, all steps are enabled.-n [OPTIONS]: Specifies the steps to skip. Available steps are the same as listed for the-soption.-c OPTIONS: Specify additional configure options for building Emacs. Options should be separated by commas.
This script requires that you have bash, git, and sudo privilege.
It's designed to work on Ubuntu 22.
Here are the steps that this script will perform in order:
install_deps: Install the necessary dependencies for Emacs.kill_emacs: Kill any running Emacs process.remove_emacs: Uninstall Emacs and perform a clean up.pull_emacs: Pull the latest Emacs source code.build_emacs: Build Emacs from the source code.install_emacs: Install Emacs from the built source code.fix_emacs_xwidgets: Fix issue related to Emacs XWidgets.copy_emacs_icon: Download and replace the default Emacs Icon with the Spacemacs logo by Nasser Alshammari.
To execute the build and installation script step-by-step, use the following command:
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh)"If you have already downloaded the script, simply execute:
./build-emacs.shTo execute all steps without prompting, use the -y argument (which
assumes "yes") to each question.
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh) -y"Or, if you have the script downloaded:
./build-emacs.sh -yTo execute specific steps, use the -s argument with the desired steps,
separated by commas. For instance, to only compile (build_emacs) and
install (install_emacs) Emacs skipping other steps:
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh) -s build_emacs,install_emacs"Or, if you have the script downloaded:
./build-emacs.sh -s build_emacs,install_emacsYou can also skip certain steps using the -n argument, followed by the
steps you wish to omit.
The example below will execute all steps except installing dependencies
(install_deps).
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh) -n install_deps"Or, if you have the script downloaded:
./build-emacs.sh -n install_depsTo build in a custom directory, use the -p argument, followed by the
path to your directory:
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh) -p $HOME/myemacs"Or, if you have the script downloaded:
./build-emacs.sh -p $HOME/myemacsThe script uses the following default configure options for building Emacs:
--with-pgtk--with-xwidgets--with-native-compilation=aot--without-compress-install--with-tree-sitter--with-mailutils
You can override these options or add new ones using the -c argument. Options should be separated by commas.
For example, to disable native compilation and PGTK, you can use:
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarimAziev/build-emacs/main/build-emacs.sh) -c --with-native-compilation=no,--without-pgtk"Or, if you have the script downloaded:
