I am quite new to Emacs. Hence, I have been using the minimal set-up version. However, slime seems to work only on the full version.
If I do on my Ubuntu 20.04 terminal the following:
emacs
And then, inside emacs:
M-x slime
I have slime working perfectly. However, if I use the minimal setup version with:
emacs -nw -Q
After typing M-x slime I get the following error version:
M-x slime (no match)
Is there something I could to run the Smile REPL inside emacs minimal set-up?
Slime isn't part of the base Emacs install. You need to add it to your config. Usually this is done via package-install-packages, but you may have downloaded the code yourself.
Regardless of how you installed slime, using it requires you load the appropriate configuration code. When you start emacs with emacs -Q, you are explicitly telling Emacs to ignore all your configuration, including the code that tells it to use slime.
