Question or issue on macOS:

I extensively use /usr/bin/emacs in Terminal.

I have Emacs 22 and I’d like to upgrade it to 23. I wonder how to do it.
Googling “emacs download mac” gives me Emacs.app which has its own window and user interface, but I don’t want that.

I am not sure how I have /usr/bin/emacs in the first place, maybe it came with Mac OS?

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

You can run the Emacs.app version in a terminal like this:

In my .cshrc file, I use an alias to make this easier to invoke:

Solution no. 2:

It is a standard editor included with OS X and a lot of other *nix systems along with vi/vim, and pico. Personally i wouldnt upgrade the pre-installed one. I would install from Macports, Fink, or Homebrew or compile from source myself to a different location (like /usr/local).

Solution no. 3:

Paragon ntfs for mac 15 free. Install emacs from macports.

Then launch it from the terminal

Solution no. 4:

Or you can install Emacs.app, follow the instructions here to create a ~/bin/emacs script and then launch as emacs -nw or any other options.

Solution no. 5:

I was on this same search and ended up installing with Homebrew so I could get the latest version along with several libraries, as described in this answer at the Emacs Stack Exchange site:

Nowadays, I use just GNU Emacs snapshot builds. These have reasonably good OS X support, and are by far the easiest to install, and best supported by the community.
I used to get them from Emacs for Mac OS X, but now I use Homebrew, because it supports more libraries, notably GNU TLS for encrypted network connections.
All in all: Use brew install emacs –HEAD –use-git-head –with-cocoa –with-gnutls –with-rsvg –with-imagemagick :).

(Note that GNU Emacs is what comes preinstalled on Mac OS X, at least on mine as of 10.10.5)

This added a new Emacs binary at /usr/local/bin/emacs, leaving the existing installation and /usr/bin/emacs in place.
