Description

The instructions on the web site do not work because the OS refuses to run a script of unknown provenance.

How to insert the relevant lines into a user's .emacs file?

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

Our solution should handle several cases:
(a) new CoCoA user with new emacs installation (i.e. no .emacs file)
(b) new CoCoA user with old emacs installation (i.e. .emacs exists but contains no CoCoA code)
(c) existing CoCoA user, and .emacs contains just CoCoA stuff
(d) existing CoCoA user, and .emacs contains CoCoA stuff and other stuff

In cases (b) and (d) we could count on some (slight) cooperation from the experienced Emacs user. In cases (a) and (c) we cannot count on any cooperation.

Alessandro Cartatone found this page (that means: there's nothing we can do except telling the user how to do)

Added instructions in the download pages.

This is the best we can get.
Moreover new installation is easier (does not require set names or folder positioning)
