best way to install emacs auto-complete mode
emacs
Solution
All fresh Emacses are coming with `package.el` that simplifies installation of 3rd party packages. `auto-complete` and `ac-dabbrev` are available from MELPA package repository. Read install instructions on MELPA site, or about `package.el`/ELPA in more details
Problem
I want to install the autocomplete-mode for emacs. When I searched through the repos (marmalade etc) I found the following packages ac-dabbrev and ac-ja. On googling ac-dabbrev, it seems to be last updated in 2009 - http://emacswiki.org/emacs/ac-dabbrev.el On the instructions for installing auto complete mode, in emacs wiki, it leads to a download link - http://cx4a.org/pub/auto-complete/auto-complete-1.3.1.zip How should I install the autocomplete mode through the package ac-dabbrev or by dowloading it from the above link ? Or is there an updated package ? Thanks, Murtaza
