Yes, thank you so much for your help! Ok, so I am assuming to be completely
new at Emacs. Based on the Windows Download instructions, but also OSX, I
can´t really tell what to do. Following what the website says, it appears I
can either download a zip file from a mirror, or get MSYS2 in order to
download it that way. It seemed that MSYS2 was a better approach because
downloading it gives me a bunch of files I have no idea what to do with. So
once I have gotten MSYS2 (a link would be helpful!), I enter the command
and see that it has downloaded. But what's next? Perhaps it would be useful
to have a link to the next steps to getting emacs running. I type in
´emacs´ and it is unrecognized. Do you feel me on what I am getting at?
Thanks for your patience and attentiveness!
Jay
