Integration with Emacs

----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
`utop.el` is a package that provides `utop` integration with Emacs.
|
||||
The package allows you to run `utop` inside Emacs and to evaluate
|
||||
code in it straight from your source buffers (with the help with `utop-minor-mode`).
|
||||
|
||||
Those features are covered in more details in the ["Usage"](#usage-emacs) section.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
`utop.el` requires Emacs 26.1 or newer. You'll also have to install
|
||||
`utop` and make sure it's on Emacs's `exec-path`, so that it could be
|
||||
started from within Emacs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Main setup
|
||||
|
||||
To use utop in emacs, first you need to make sure emacs can find the
|
||||
command `utop` and the file `utop.el`. `utop.el` is available through
|
||||
[melpa](https://melpa.org/), so `M-x package-install RET utop RET`
|
||||
should do.
|
||||
The recommended way to install `utop.el` is via Emacs's built-in package manager `package.el`.
|
||||
|
||||
If this doesn't work and you installed utop via opam, you can add this
|
||||
`utop.el` is available on the community-maintained
|
||||
[MELPA Stable](https://stable.melpa.org) and [MELPA](https://melpa.org) `package.el` repositories. If you're not using them already, please follow the setup instructions [here](https://melpa.org/#/getting-started).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Using MELPA Stable is recommended as it has the latest stable version.
|
||||
MELPA has a development snapshot for users who don't mind breakage but
|
||||
don't want to run `utop.el` from a git checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've enabled MELPA (Stable), you can install `utop.el` using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
<kbd>M-x package-install [RET] utop [RET]</kbd>
|
||||
|
||||
or if you'd rather keep it in your Emacs config:
|
||||
|
||||
```emacs-lisp
|
||||
(unless (package-installed-p 'utop)
|
||||
(package-refresh-contents)
|
||||
(package-install 'utop))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`use-package` users can do something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```emacs-lisp
|
||||
(use-package utop
|
||||
:ensure t)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the installation doesn't work try refreshing the package list:
|
||||
|
||||
<kbd>M-x package-refresh-contents</kbd>
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if you have installed utop via opam, you can add this
|
||||
to your `~/.emacs`:
|
||||
|
||||
```elisp
