From 4c6a64dbe5f8a7ebea69eb8c587b30cd8d070d22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilkka Laukkanen Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:54:01 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Add note about .emacs.d Windows path At least on my Windows 7 machine, `user-emacs-directory` prints `~/.emacs.d`, which is not really useful, since you also then have to realize that the tilde refers to the roaming appdata directory. I think this way of documenting would perhaps be more immediately useful. For probably almost all other platforms the tilde path will work just fine. --- README.md | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index c6e45de..b56201b 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -131,9 +131,7 @@ ln -s path/to/local/repo ~/.emacs.d cd ~/.emacs.d ``` -You'd do well to replace `~/.emacs.d` with the value of -`user-emacs-directory` for your OS. You can check the value by doing -`C-h v user-emacs-directory` inside Emacs. +Note that on Windows, the `.emacs.d` directory is usually located at `C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d`, and you should adjust the command appropriately. ## Updating Prelude
