My personal directory for prelude (emacs). It's not very interesting, but this seems like a good place to keep it.
mkdir -p ~/personal
cd ~/personal
git clone https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude.git
ln -s ~/personal/prelude ~/.emacs.d
emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile ~/.emacs.d/core/*.el
git clone git@github.com:zuercher/prelude-personal.git
~/personal/prelude-personal/link-files.sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-elisp/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs25-nox # or just emac25 (includes X Windows support)
sudo update-alternatives --config emacs # pick emacs25
