Easy Cross Platform Installation?

[serapath]

For slap-editor, i just need to type

• $> npm install -g slap
  on any operating system and then open the slap editor by typing e.g.
• $> slap .
  in my terminal.

Compared to that, Spacemacs seems to be quite complex to set up (see here). For a first time user, who transitions from an IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse or even an editor like sublime text2, it looks pretty scary.

By most OSes, do you mean Windows as well?

That would be pretty cool. And even though i didn't try, it might work in windows.
If not immediately, then maybe after the installation of git-scm on windows which can transform your cmd into something more "unixy"

I don't know if it is complex, in a nutshell it is two commands:

• unzip or install emacs binaries distribution from the OS package manager
• clone spacemacs

I am using Spacemacs on Windows as my primary editor for some time. It's the same set and go.

Don't get spoiled by the package managers. For me they are conveniences, not replacement for good old manual copy paste.

At the moment it's probably not feasible to provide a simpler way of installation.

I'm closing this issue due to age. Please open a new one if you want to start a fresh discussion.
