Up: SLIME Mode [Index]
Install SLIME using Emacs’ package manager.
Define a default Lisp program using the variable ‘inferior-lisp-program’.
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl")
SLIME can be run using the command ‘slime’.
[C-u] M-x slime
This command runs the command ‘inferior-lisp’, which starts ‘inferior-lisp-mode’ and starts an inferior lisp process; and then starts the lisp server "Swank"; and establishes a socket connection between Emacs and Lisp; and starts a REPL buffer where you can enter Lisp expressions for evaluation.
With a prefix argument, Emacs will prompt for the program.
