Joseph Edwards VIII — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 20:59:41 GMT

Install Raspberry Pi OS Lite (buster)
Login as pi/raspberry
Enable sources in /etc/apt/sources.list, then sudo apt update && apt upgrade
Install basic but required build tools:

sudo apt install build-essential
Install xorg and WebKitGTK+:

sudo apt install xorg xorg-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
Prepare for latest Emacs install by installing dependencies of latest previous version in the repo:

sudo apt build-dep emacs
Get the latest Emacs, and configure it thusly:

./configure --with-imagemagick --with-xwidgets
Build and install Emacs:

make && sudo make install
Get my literate README:

git clone https://github.com/joseph8th/literatemacs.git
- Open README.org in Emacs, then follow instructions to get a basic init.el installed in .emacs.d/
- In addition, copy the elisp/ directory into .emacs.d/
- Run Emacs to install packages and debug init as needed:
  
  emacs --debug-init
Open README.org again, and enable the EXWM entanglement. Then save, and it will tangle EXWM files.
```
    cp xinitrc.exwm ~/.xinitrc
    ln -s exwm-init.el ~/.emacs.d/
```
Reboot and do startx after login. Debug init as needed.
