Re: Emacs with macOS Big Sur Version 11.6.1

["Samuel Banya" <sbanya@fastmail.com>]

Hey Kevin,

Not sure if this helps, but here are my old notes from my previous job on how I installed Emacs using the 'Macports' version since the Macports version is far superior than the regular Homebrew version (confusing, I know. It was for me too). 

More so, because I kept getting this weird flickering issue on the Homebrew version, so I recommend using 'Macports' instead.

Here's my old Org notes, hope they help:

<2021-06-02 Wed 10:28>: I re-installed Emacs via this link with this port:
- https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport

<2021-06-02 Wed 10:29>: Here are the commands I used:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
brew install --cask emacs-mac
#+END_SRC
