homebrew-emacs-plus VS HomeBrew

I am intrigued by this line in the description:

"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"

Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)

I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.

There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

Awesome! You should create a PR to add it to https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/

Homebrew is a highly popular package manager on macOS and Linux systems, enabling users to easily install, update, and uninstall command-line tools and applications. Its design philosophy focuses on simplifying the software installation process on macOS, eliminating the need for manual downloads and compilations of software packages.

Package Manager: Homebrew

Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?

I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.

So if it’s the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.

Before we begin, make sure you have Homebrew installed on your Mac. Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easy to install software and dependencies. You can install Homebrew by following the instructions on their website: https://brew.sh/

I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS.

I have always either installed Node from the installer provided by the Nodejs website or, via Brew in macOS. I have also used nvm in the past but did not know that there was a best practice to guide us.

A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:

On a macOS machine, you can use homebrew by running the command.
