Downloading XEmacs

Please try and pick a site that is networkologically close to you. If you would like to mirror XEmacs or its website, please read the following documents :

• How to become a mirror of the XEmacs FTP site.
• How to become a mirror of the XEmacs Web site.

To get started quickly: For many platforms such as Windows, Linux, open source BSDs, and Mac OS X, recent versions of XEmacs are included in various distributions. Commercial Unix versions may also have precompiled binary distributions.

Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista

TheCygwin distribution provides a Unix emulation environment, and a setup tool which you can use to select and download XEmacs itself, various add-on packages for XEmacs, and binary utilities such as aspell and its dictionaries and the patch and diff utilities. (Windows Vista is not heavily tested yet, but it should work.)

Mac OS X

TheFink andMacPorts projects both provide XEmacs packages, as well as the third party utilities.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

TheFreeBSD,NetBSD, andOpenBSD projects all provide XEmacs ports.

Linux

All of the major Linux vendors provide XEmacs packages, often in various configurations. Use the usual tool for your distro to select, download, and install XEmacs.

Commercial Unixes

The Solaris Open Source Companion Disk contains a package of XEmacs. The HP/UX Porting Center provides a distribution of XEmacs, too.

You can also use the precompiled executables that can be found in thebinaries directory in the mirrors below. However, many facilities provided by XEmacs require other binaries (eg, the patch and diff utilities, or ispell and its dictionaries) and you will have to get them yourself. Binaries are made by volunteers, so they are not available for all supported platforms.
