emacs

I don't know how to install emacs.
I have downloaded emacs and also unzipped and tar it. Now I have a dir called emacs, but what now? (there is also one called install )
What are the next steps?

Thank you in advance.

Emacs should have already been installed!!!

Open a terminal and type emacs

It isn't...

@D40AE555:~>emacs
bash: emacs: command not found

I don't understand why.

if it was a .tar.gz file then you probably got the source code. either look for an rpm, or install from source like this:

open a terminal and cd into the untarred emacs directory, then type these commands:

./configure
make
su
make install
exit

that should do it.

If you are using Suse, just install using YAST.
