I have installed Prelude Emacs by using wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/raw/master/utils/installer.sh -O - | sh
. I am using Debian and new to Emacs. Now whenever I run emacs in terminal, it opens Prelude Emacs. I wonder it is possible to two versions of Emacs; one for system emacs (installed by apt-get install emacs
) and the other installed by the above command. I don't want to uninstall Prelude Emacs. But just having two different emacs. (This question could be asked for a different version emacs such as spacemacs which uses .emacs.d
directory). So it will overwrite my configuration files inside ~/.emacs.d/
as Prelude did it for my system-wide Emacs.

I'm not familiar with Prelude Emacs but you can launch emacs without any configuration file using emacs -q
or with a special init file emacs -q -l ~/.emacs.d/special-init.el
.
Maybe you want to create an alias e.g. alias RawEmacs = 'emacs -q'
.

If I use new
init.el
file rather than defined one, this will load new packages from Melpa or will it borrow packages from.emacs.d\elpa
directory? – ofenerci Aug 26 '17 at 17:04
