Well, compiling is simple enough *if* you have the right tools installed. Were I to have added those steps, it'd be as simple as: - cd /Users/username/.elisp/org.git - type "make" - type "make doc" Like I said, though, if you don't have OS X developer tools (gcc) installed, you won't be able to do "make," and I think that doc might require LaTeX, but I could be wrong. > Your steps seem simple enough, at least for me: I was attracted to Org-mode > because in class I get distracted with the webbrowser and all, the simple > text helps keep me focused.
