Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
SLIME is the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs.
|
|
|
|
SLIME extends Emacs with support for interactive programming in Common
|
|
Lisp. The features are centered around slime-mode, an Emacs minor-mode that
|
|
complements the standard lisp-mode. While lisp-mode supports editing Lisp
|
|
source files, slime-mode adds support for interacting with a running Common
|
|
Lisp process for compilation, debugging, documentation lookup, and so on.
|

Quick setup instructions
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. [Set up the MELPA repository][2], if you haven't already, and install
|
|
SLIME using `M-x package-install RET slime RET`.
|
|
|
|
2. In your `~/.emacs` file, point the `inferior-lisp-program`
|
|
variable to your favourite Common Lisp implementation:
|
|
|
|
```el
|
|
(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Use `M-x slime` to fire up and connect to an inferior Lisp. SLIME will
|
|
now automatically be available in your Lisp source buffers.
|
|
