todo-sync 0.3.1

Emacs

Consult the official installation instructions from the GNU Project.

Org

Your Emacs distribution likely includes a high enough version of Org. You can check from within Emacs with M-x org-version RET. If you need a more recent version, consult the official installation instructions from the Org project.

Todo-Sync’s Library

Install ts-org-interaction.el from this repo to your personal site lisp.

$ cd /path/to/your/site/lisp
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmurph/todo-sync/master/emacs/ts-org-interaction.el

(Optional) Create a Minimal Init File

If you don’t do this, you’ll have to point the tool at your main init file, which just might invoke complicated code that could hang the tool’s Emacs subprocess in difficult-to-debug ways.

Here’s a template that should get you going:

;;; make Org mode available to Emacs
(push "/path/to/org" load-path)

;;; make the downloaded ts-org-interaction library available
(push "/path/to/your/site/lisp" load-path)

;;; set Org agenda file variables
(defvar org-directory "/path/for/relative/filename/expansion")
(defvar org-agenda-files '("relative/path/to/first/file"
                           "relative/path/to/second/file"
                           "/absolute/path/to/third/file"
                           "etc"))
