eww-lnum in MELPA?

eww-lnum in MELPA?

[Haines Brown]

I'm running emacs 24.4.1 and using eww. I would like to give
eww the features of Conqueror, and so would like to install eww-lnum. I
gather it is accessible through MELPA, but the list-packages does not
show it.

Where am I going wrong? I am aware it can be downloaded from GitHub.

eww itself is distributed with emacs and resides in /lisp/net/

Them might it be one of those instances where backing out to a more panoptic view might help?

So then why not download it from github?

Hm, it's in ‘list-packages’ for me. I can think of two possibilities off
hand for why it's not there for you.

First, what version of Emacs are you using? The version of ‘eww-lnum’ in
MELPA declares a dependency on Emacs 24.4, so it may be that your Emacs
is too old. If for some reason you can't update your Emacs, you could
check to see if there's an older version of ‘eww-lnum’ that will work
with an older Emacs.

If your Emacs is new enough, perhaps you haven't configured Emacs to use
MELPA? The only package archive that Emacs uses by default is GNU ELPA.

To configure MELPA, you would add a line like this to your init file:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))

Hope that helps

Please excuse my stupid question, which you answered before I even asked :)

Yes it did, and thanks, John. I had been using ELPA rather than MELPA. I
added this to my .emacs init file:

|| (require 'package)		
|| (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))

and now find eww-lnum listed as available.
