= Installing Emacs via MacPorts =
See InstallingOpenmclViaMacPorts to get the general idea for how to leverage the available packages from Darwin Ports.

[http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] provides several variations on '''Emacs/XEmacs''':

    * [http://www.xemacs.org XEmacs] -- Found in the editors section.
    * [http://www.emacs.org GNU Emacs] -- Found in the editors section.
    * '''emacs-devel''' -- The emacs package, using the experimental Cocoa interface. Found in the editors section.
    * '''emacs-app''' -- The emacs package, using a full-featured aqua integration. Found in the aqua section. 

At one point, the '''XEmacs''' port wouldn't work until you had installed a number of other packages; the least obvious of which was {{{openmotif}}} which fufilled it's desire for {{{libXm}}}.

Note that you can also use the excellent [http://aquamacs.org/index.shtml AquaEmacs] (Cocoa-based Emacs) software.

Also note that you can get [http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ Slime] this way.
