• Build Emacs from source:

  • Ensure the following development packages are installed:

sudo dnf groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
sudo dnf install gtk3-devel
sudo dnf install -y giflib-devel
sudo dnf install -y gnutls-devel
sudo dnf install -y libjpeg-devel
sudo dnf install -y libXpm-devel
sudo dnf install -y ncurses-devel
  • Download the tarball of the latest version of Emacs:
https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/
  • Untar the archive:
tar -axvf emacs-VERSION.tar.xz
  • Change into the directory:
cd emacs-VERSION
  • Build and install Emacs:
./configure
make
sudo make install
  • For Rocky Linux 10, run the following during the ./configure step to get it configured:
./configure --with-gif=ifavailable
  • Emacs will then be available in the following directory:
/usr/local/bin/emacs
  • Install git:
sudo dnf install -y git
  • Clone the git repository:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/core ~/.config/emacs   # or ~/.emacs.d
  • Install Doom Emacs:
~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install
  • Helper information provided at the end of the installation:
But before you doom yourself, here are some things you should know:

1. Don't forget to run 'doom sync' and restart Emacs after modifying init.el or
   packages.el in ~/.config/doom. This is never necessary for config.el.

2. If something goes wrong, run `doom doctor` to diagnose common issues with
   your environment, setup, and config.

3. Use 'doom upgrade' to update Doom. Doing it any other way will require
   additional steps (see 'doom help upgrade').

4. Access Doom's documentation from within Emacs via 'SPC h d h' or 'C-h d h'
   (or 'M-x doom/help').
