Updating packages in Emacs

Question

(require \'package)
(setq package-archives \'((\"ELPA\" . \"http://t         


        

Answer 1

In terminal:

emacs

M-x list-packages

this puts you in the *packages* buffer

shift-u x

emacs will ask you (y/n), wait for updates

C-x k 

this will kill the *packages* buffer and return you back to *scratch*

C-x-C-c

this will exit emacs, and let you relaunch via, but you might have to debug :(

emacs
