1.1 Installation

rec-mode is implemented in a self-contained elisp file called rec-mode.el. It can be obtained in several ways:

In the second case you need to tell Emacs where to locate the rec-mode.el file and to load it. Add the following to your .emacs file.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/recmode/")
(require 'rec-mode)

If rec-mode.el was installed as part of a binary package in a distribution then you usually don’t have to touch the load-path variable. Depending on the specific case you may have to require the package.
