Raspberry Pi, Model 4, everything up to date with Raspberry Pi OS. I execute the following commands:
sudo apt install emacs (verson 26.1)
mkdir .emacs.d
emacs
then
M-x package-refresh-contents
which gives the error message:
Failed to download the gnu archive
I have tried a couple of things from these links:
Failed to download 'gnu' archive
But I haven't gotten anything to succeed yet.
If you're running an emacs version earlier than 26.3 (like 26.1), try (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3").
If that works then you're hitting a bug in Emacs that was fixed in 26.3.
