Emacs install, noobhelp plz!
 

i have the following links:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
and the mirror:
ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/gnu/

what do i need to download exactly? i mean there is a huge directory with directories and files.

i want to use it for Lisp mainly but really any language.

What are you actually after? The Emacs editor, a lisp interpreter or the GNU operating system?

If it's one of the first two then I'd ask what Linux distribution (if any) you're presently using? As a self proclaimed noob you'd be much better off downloading your distributions pre-compiled package.

So; what do you want to install and what do you want to install it on?

i am using windows vista.

i want the emacs editor and a lisp interpreter would be good too.

i dont want the operating system.

i just want something click download->click install->start programming :)

See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/wi...#Getting-Emacs

you can use this CD to install many GNU packages using the normal windows installer method. It has XEmacs, which is in my opinion a little easier to use than emacs:

Here is a direct download for Xemacs:
