Emacs

The Emacs plugin is stable. Python 2.7 or 3.X and Emacs 24 are required.

Initial Setup

Recommended: Installation using MELPA

1. M-x package-install <RET> floobits <RET>
2. Create a ~/.floorc.json.

Manual installation using git

1. cd ~/.emacs.d/
   git clone https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-emacs.git floobits

2. Add Floobits to your ~/.emacs:

   (load "~/.emacs.d/floobits/floobits.el")

3. Create a ~/.floorc.json.

You’ll need to restart Emacs once you’ve installed the plugin.
