Trying to take a vanilla scimax for a spin

Using

emacs --version
GNU Emacs 31.0.50

and following Linux users by executing

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkitchin/scimax/master/install-scimax-linux.sh)"

Running

~/scimax.sh &

... fails to finish init.

I found I had to first hide my own ~/.emacs.d, as follows

I then tried hiding my old ~/emacs.d

 mv .emacs.d .emacs.d.hidden

and again running

~/scimax.sh &

and this time found completed

after prompting me to "Store links with" four (or so) times. Not knowing what this meant, I chose the notebook option each time.

So, suggestion you might provide up-front documentation to

  • hide your own .emacs.d when trying out scimax
  • alert user they will be prompted about links, with pointer to what is going on

Thanks for reading!

hm. Someone else reported an issue around "after prompting me to "Store links with" four (or so) times. Not knowing what this meant, I chose the notebook option each time." that was affecting the homebrew install. I don't know why that is happening. I am pretty sure it is occurring during loading an org-file, either scimax-editmarks.org or scimax-notebook.org but I am baffled on why it happens then, and I can't reproduce it easily. Maybe this report will help.

These are legacy scripts, and homebrew is the preferred way to install it for me.

I am not sure how to make it more robust, there are a lot of things that have to get installed, and it has been my experience in the past that sometimes you have to restart the process, but that was usually on windows.

Errors like this:

Cloning into '/home/mec/.emacs.d/straight/repos/org'...
fatal: did not receive expected object b412b0af2daf4d4d46c624892f5e5ebb21cd7b66
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

look like git transport issues. I am not sure what to do about those. Anyway, thanks for reporting this, when I get a chance I will look into how to reproduce some of these and see if there are fixes.
