You need to install git via this: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/. Look on the left and download the one for your OS X variant (one of the two at the bottom of the list: either git-1.7.4.4-i386 or 1.7.4.4-x86_64 if you're running 64bit Snow Leopard). After you download it and run it, install it. Since the installer puts everything in /usr/local/git, run this command: .--- | /usr/local/git/bin/git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git `--- instead of what I put above. It will run for a fairly long time and might not give you feedback, so just leave it be until it gives you a fresh command prompt and stops sitting at "cloning into..." or whatever the message is. After that you can should be ready to set up the .emacs file and give it a whirl. Best regards, John
