To get Emacs v30, I’m using the emacs plus formula for homebrew. It is installed like this:
brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
brew install emacs-plus@30 --with-imagemagick --with-native-comp
This does a compile from source, so takes a while.
Finally, to create an alias from the app in the homebrew install location to the Applications directory, the brew script says to run this command:
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@30/Emacs.app" at POSIX files "/Applications" with properties {name:"Emacs.app"}'
After that, emacs can be launched from the command line or the UI.
My emacs config is in git, so I just need to pull that to get everything set up as I like it.
Although, I do need to install my preferred fonts as well:
brew install --cask font-fira-code font-roboto
And within emacs, I need to run M-x nerd-icons-install-fonts to get the modeline icons (I could probably install these via brew as well)
