Installing latest org mode

Installing latest org mode using package manager

To install latest org mode using package manager use:

  1. Download latest org elpa package from http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  2. If use of proxy is necessary for accessing Internet then export proxy. Example command is:
    export http_proxy='http://proxy.virtual-labs.ac.in:8080/'
  3. Start emacs with 'emacs &'
  4. Check current org version using 'M-x org-version'
  5. List packages from package manager using 'M-x package-list-packages'
    Note that this step is important and should not be skipped
  6. Install org-package using 'M-x package-install-file' and choose downloaded org elpa package
  7. Close emacs
  8. Start emacs again with 'emacs &'
  9. Check org-version again using 'M-x org-version'. If the new version is not reflected then troubleshoot.
  10. Add lisp sub-folder to path as
    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp")
    This helps in exporting to other formats. Learned from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23272314/org-mode-export-options-such-as-odt-beamer
