Next: Which Packages, Previous: Manually, Up: Installing Packages [Contents][Index]
Those with little time, cheap connections and plenty of disk space can install all the packages at once using the sumo tarballs. Download the file: xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
For an SXEmacs compiled with Mule you also need: xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
N.B. They are called ’Sumo Tarballs’ for good reason. They are currently about 19MB and 4.5MB (gzipped) respectively.
Install them by:
cd $prefix/share/sxemacs ; gunzip -c <tarballname> | tar xvf - RET
Or, if you have GNU tar:
cd $prefix/share/sxemacs ; tar zxvf /path/to/<tarballname> RET
As the Sumo tarballs are not regenerated as often as the individual packages, it is recommended that you use the automatic package tools afterwards to pick up any recent updates.
