Carton for Emacs is what Bundler is to Ruby. It aims to make ELPA dependency management in Emacs painless (as painless as it can be). This includes both your local Emacs installation and Emacs package development.
To automatically install Carton, run this command:
curl -fsSkL https://raw.github.com/rejeep/carton/master/go | sh
You can also clone the repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/rejeep/carton.git
Don't forget to add Carton's bin to your PATH
.
$ export PATH="/path/to/code/carton/bin:$PATH"
Create a file called Carton
in your project root and specify
dependencies. To install all dependencies, run:
$ carton [install]
This will create a directory calledelpa
, containing all dependencies.
Add this to your .emacs
file.
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)
That's it!
To create a -pkg.el
file, run:
$ carton package
To run some Emacs Lisp code with ELPA load paths all set up for you, use:
$ carton exec [COMMAND]
Example:
$ carton exec make test
Add an ELPA mirror.
