• The full installation instructions are missing is a problem for me, but I also want to know if I can use it with Aquamacs if I do manage to install it. My question here is not really about Aquamacs per se, the same question applies to Emacs not run from the terminal on mac OS (Emacs.
• Dec 27, 2011 Most will say you don't need anti virus software on a Mac. So no there is no built in anti virus program. I wouldn't bother with it as no one at this time is writing viruses for the Mac OS. I personally don't run any on either Mac or Windows. Just a waste of hard drive space and resources.

I have the same problem when I came from Linux to macOS, and I resolved it by add following codes to my emacs config file:;; check OS type (cond ((string-equal system-type 'windows-nt'); Microsoft Windows (progn (message 'Microsoft Windows'))) ((string-equal system-type 'darwin'); Mac OS X (progn (setq mac-option-key-is-meta nil) (setq mac-command-key-is-meta t) (setq mac-command-modifier.

Emacs is a nice operating system. Too bad it doesn't have a good editor.

another reason i like VI . . . no bloat

It's the standard! Ed doesn't waste your time by gobbling up memory or getting in your face with a weird, inconsistent user interface. Try it today!

Wow, all those kilobytes of bloat. How can you stand it?

ed? My God, that thing is bloated as hell! I use cat as my editor. No fancy junk like going back and correcting your mistakes! I still remember when programmers were MEN, not little sissies whining for syntax highlighting in their editors. Punch cards, tape reels, and disk drives the size of washing machines... now those were the days....

yeah, talk about a bloated editor... emacs offers pong too (for 2 players). Just enter 'M-x pong' (M-x again equals to escape-x). One player can use the arrow-keys, the other the numbers 4 and 6.
Have fun!

Actually, emacs is not that bloated. It has a great lazy-loading system and all these 'goodies' are provided as packages. If you don't use them, they're not ever read from disk.

doctor, hanoi, gomoku, blackbox, mpuz, 5x5, decipher, dunnet, lm, life, morse-region, pong, solitaire, studlify-region...

Cool, I didn't know of the other games, thanks! :-)

Well.. just look at the sourcecode.. 19.9MB.. I wonder, if there isn't a quake-engine also included.. ;)

Hi,
I am a really beginner with Mac and Terminal. After I applied this hint in terminal, I have noticed that my Tetris did turn out to be the black and white version.
I know Rob mentioned that if $TERM is set to VT100 (in Terminal Preferences), it'll show up as B&W version. And if I like the color version, I have to set $TERM to ansi.
Maybe what rob said is very obvious to many advenced Mac users out there, but I have tried to change mine into color version without luck. Can somebody be kindly walkthrough the steps for me on how to change the $TERM to ansi? I'll be very very appreciated for your help!

Look in Terminal -> Preferences; you'll see a drop-down menu where you can set $TERM. Then just open a new Terminal window after changing it.
-rob.

When I went to Terminal preferences, it just had two things- /bin/tcsh and open a saved .term . It had a select from file thing, but I don't know were to find it. sorry to be such a bother- im just a beginer

Yes, please help. Im also a begginer and have no idea what that that means -thanx

Unlike the software developed for Windows system, most of the applications installed in Mac OS X generally can be removed with relative ease. Emacs is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling Emacs may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash.

When installed, Emacs creates files in several locations. Generally, its additional files, such as preference files and application support files, still remains on the hard drive after you delete Emacs from the Application folder, in case that the next time you decide to reinstall it, the settings of this program still be kept. But if you are trying to uninstall Emacs in full and free up your disk space, removing all its components is highly necessary. Continue reading this article to learn about the proper methods for uninstalling Emacs.

Manually uninstall Emacs step by step:

Most applications in Mac OS X are bundles that contain all, or at least most, of the files needed to run the application, that is to say, they are self-contained. Thus, different from the program uninstall method of using the control panel in Windows, Mac users can easily drag any unwanted application to the Trash and then the removal process is started. Despite that, you should also be aware that removing an unbundled application by moving it into the Trash leave behind some of its components on your Mac. To fully get rid of Emacs from your Mac, you can manually follow these steps:

1. Terminate Emacs process(es) via Activity Monitor

Before uninstalling Emacs, you’d better quit this application and end all its processes. If Emacs is frozen, you can press Cmd +Opt + Esc, select Emacs in the pop-up windows and click Force Quit to quit this program (this shortcut for force quit works for the application that appears but not for its hidden processes).

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder in Launchpad, and select All Processes on the drop-down menu at the top of the window. Select the process(es) associated with Emacs in the list, click Quit Process icon in the left corner of the window, and click Quit in the pop-up dialog box (if that doesn’t work, then try Force Quit).

2. Delete Emacs application using the Trash

First of all, make sure to log into your Mac with an administrator account, or you will be asked for a password when you try to delete something.

Open the Applications folder in the Finder (if it doesn’t appear in the sidebar, go to the Menu Bar, open the “Go” menu, and select Applications in the list), search for Emacs application by typing its name in the search field, and then drag it to the Trash (in the dock) to begin the uninstall process. Alternatively you can also click on the Emacs icon/folder and move it to the Trash by pressing Cmd + Del or choosing the File and Move to Trash commands.

For the applications that are installed from the App Store, you can simply go to the Launchpad, search for the application, click and hold its icon with your mouse button (or hold down the Option key), then the icon will wiggle and show the “X” in its left upper corner. Click the “X” and click Delete in the confirmation dialog.

3. Remove all components related to Emacs in Finder

Though Emacs has been deleted to the Trash, its lingering files, logs, caches and other miscellaneous contents may stay on the hard disk. For complete removal of Emacs, you can manually detect and clean out all components associated with this application. You can search for the relevant names using Spotlight. Those preference files of Emacs can be found in the Preferences folder within your user’s library folder (~/Library/Preferences) or the system-wide Library located at the root of the system volume (/Library/Preferences/), while the support files are located in '~/Library/Application Support/' or '/Library/Application Support/'.

Open the Finder, go to the Menu Bar, open the “Go” menu, select the entry:|Go to Folder... and then enter the path of the Application Support folder:~/Library

Search for any files or folders with the program’s name or developer’s name in the ~/Library/Preferences/, ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Caches/ folders. Right click on those items and click Move to Trash to delete them.

Meanwhile, search for the following locations to delete associated items:

• /Library/Preferences/
• /Library/Application Support/
• /Library/Caches/

Besides, there may be some kernel extensions or hidden files that are not obvious to find. In that case, you can do a Google search about the components for Emacs. Usually kernel extensions are located in in /System/Library/Extensions and end with the extension .kext, while hidden files are mostly located in your home folder. You can use Terminal (inside Applications/Utilities) to list the contents of the directory in question and delete the offending item.

4. Empty the Trash to fully remove Emacs

If you are determined to delete Emacs permanently, the last thing you need to do is emptying the Trash. To completely empty your trash can, you can right click on the Trash in the dock and choose Empty Trash, or simply choose Empty Trash under the Finder menu (Notice: you can not undo this act, so make sure that you haven’t mistakenly deleted anything before doing this act. If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, you can right click on the items in the Trash and choose Put Back in the list). In case you cannot empty the Trash, reboot your Mac.

Tips for the app with default uninstall utility:

You may not notice that, there are a few of Mac applications that come with dedicated uninstallation programs. Though the method mentioned above can solve the most app uninstall problems, you can still go for its installation disk or the application folder or package to check if the app has its own uninstaller first. If so, just run such an app and follow the prompts to uninstall properly. After that, search for related files to make sure if the app and its additional files are fully deleted from your Mac.
