Install | Org Mode
Installation
Org is included in GNU Emacs.
If you already have Emacs installed, you can start using org-mode
right away!
You can also install the latest stable version of Org via GNU ELPA by
invoking M-x package-install RET org RET
.
The bleeding-edge development version or Org is available on savannah.gnu.org.
You can clone the repo via:
~$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git
Worg has documentation about build options and about how to stay on the bleeding edge.
There are also many packages that augment Org available on GNU ELPA, NonGNU ELPA and MELPA.
Get started
Once you're ready to Org, check out the Quickstart page for an overview of the syntax.
Doom, Spacemacs, Scimax and popular configs
The Emacs starter kits Doom, Spacemacs and Scimax come with a curated
set of packages and configurations that aim to enhance Org mode (and
Emacs more generally) for particular use cases. They include Org
along with integrations between org-mode
and other modes (such as
evil-mode
). Here are links to the current packages included with
Doom, and Spacemacs. Scimax is deeply integrated with Org so a good
place to start is the manual. Doom installs a version of Org that is
close to the development HEAD
, while Spacemacs and Scimax track org
elpa.
Starter kits often make significant changes to the default user experience for Emacs. If you are looking for something closer to vanilla Emacs there are popular configs such as Purcell's emacs.d that include org-mode customization and Org-related packages.
