Once you installed it, you have to install the elisp package that integrate it with emacs. Look at emacswiki about where to get it. I don't particularly recommend it. The advantage is too trivial, and the cost to install and maintain, learn, is a bit high. When using it in emacs, it is actually some 2 or more times slower, than actually using a full featured browser with graphics and css and javascript all. there are a lot quality browsers today (safari, chrom, opera, firefox). If you want, you can set up one of these browsers to not load graphics or css or javascript. And you can set shortcut keys in emacs or system wide to easily switch to and fro between emacs and that browser. Or, have a region in emacs automatically launch to the browser to do web search or stuff. For this, see: http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_lookup_ref.html Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
