== FreeBSD ==

=== Install ===

==== Emacs 23 ====

To install the latest stable version of Emacs, with all the latest features, there are two approaches: using a pre built package or building from the ports.

To fetch and install the package run:

<source lang="text">

# pkg_add -r emacs

</source>

Or use the ports:

<source lang="text">

# cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs

# make install

</source>

==== Emacs 24 ====

To install the latest development version of Emacs, with all the latest features, there are two approaches: using a pre built package or building from the ports.

To fetch and install the package run:

<source lang="text">

# pkg_add -r emacs-devel

</source>

Or use the ports:

<source lang="text">

# cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs-devel

# make install

</source>

[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/emacs.html Using Emacs as a Development Environment] from the official FreeBSD project documentation. Some of the config tweaks are a bit dated and might need updating. But overall it's a good starting point.

== NetBSD ==

== OpenBSD ==
After setting <tt>PKG_PATH</tt> to something appropriate (generally <tt>protocol://[http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html mirrorsite]/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`uname -m`/</tt>), execute as root or with sudo

<source lang="text">
# pkg_add -i emacs
</source>

Using the <tt>-i</tt> (interactive) option tells <tt>pkg_add</tt> to prompt you for which version to install. Emacs 21, 22, and 23 are available in packages.

You can also install from the ports tree, in <tt>editors/emacs21</tt>, <tt>editors/emacs22</tt>, or <tt>editors/emacs23</tt>; however, "The [OpenBSD] ports tree is meant for advanced users. Everyone is encouraged to use the pre-compiled binary packages."(OpenBSD FAQ, [http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#Ports section 15.3])

No premade port or package for Emacs 24 seems to be publicly available currently.
