Linux – installing emacs on CentOS

emacslinuxsoftware installationvmware

I installed VMware and I have centOS installed in it and I'd like to install emacs on it but I don't find any source which has the tar file for that. I either find it for Linux or Solaris but when I tried installing the tar file given for Linux on VM it isn't installing. Can anyone give me the source where I can find the tar file for emacs that I can install on VM and also instructions on how to install it? I find using emacs easier than VIM. And what is the difference between Linux installed on disc and installed on a VM?

emacs is in the epel repos. Open a terminal and run:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install emacs

No. There is emacs-nox on CentOS and Fedora.

$ sudo yum -y install emacs-nox

Colors for menu bar and the scroll bar on emacs 24

Emacs 24 does not have a new color system. What it has that is new is a Customize interface for custom themes, which are different from but similar to the color themes of library color-theme.el.
I think you mean the mode line and not the menu bar. (To change menu-bar appearance I think the only recourse might be Xresources.)
The faces to customize are these:
- scroll-bar
- mode-line
- mode-line-inactive
- mode-line-emphasis
- mode-line-buffer-id
- mode-line-highlight

You can customize any of these using M-x customize-face. Or you can define a color theme or a custome theme that uses them.
