Clone the git repository: $ cd ~/code # Whatever directory you wand $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git Now you have the directory ~/code/auctex/ that includes the auctex source code. Now build auctex: $ cd ~/code/auctex $ ./configure $ make Now you have two choices: (1) install it system-wide using "sudo make install", or (2) run it straight from the cloned directory. In the latter case, you might want to generate an info index using: $ cd ~/code/auctex/docs $ for x in *.info; do install-info --dir-file=dir $x;done Now you have to configure emacs by putting this into your ~/.emacs: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; The next 4 lines only if you run auctex from the cloned ;; directory, i.e., you didn't "make install" (setq TeX-data-directory "~/code/auctex/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/code/auctex/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/code/auctex/preview/") (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "~/code/auctex/doc") (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) ;; Make AUCTeX aware of style files and multi-file documents (setq TeX-parse-self t) (setq TeX-auto-save t) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Now you are done. From time to time, you might want to update the clone using: $ cd ~/code/auctex $ git pull $ make If you used option (1) above, remember to do a "make install" afterwards, too.
