Preface

Before installing and using emacs, emacs should be run as a daemon. This decreases the loading times of the editor enormously and enables you to return to your former emacs session at any time. To do this you first need to make sure emacs --daemon is run during the start up. To access the daemonized emacs you can either run emacsclient -t to use it in the terminal or simply emacsclient if you want to use the GUI version.

Package installation

Preperation

Initialize Emacs builtin package system and add the melpa-package repository.

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))

Package installation

use-package

(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)

diminish

Diminished modes are minor modes with no modeline display

(use-package diminish)

Transparent Emacs

Makes the default color of the background of emacs the same as the terminals color. This is kind of a janky solution, but it works.
