I just installed Emacs 25.2 on my computer, but I can not access its manual. when I press C-h r this screen enter image description here opens which lacks any links related to the Emacs manual. Futhermore, the echo area displays the message Info file emacs does not exist. How do I debug and/or fix this?

  • This sounds like the Emacs manual files were not installed in the correct location. How did you install Emacs 25.2? Which OS are you running?

    Have you installed the emacs25-common-non-dfsg package? Its descriptions reads GNU Emacs common non-DFSG items, including the core documentation.
