What is this?

This is really a memo....just for myself. Sorry, never mind (><)

command

In terminal:

emacs
M-x list-packages

this puts you in the packages buffer

shift-u x

emacs will ask you (y/n), wait for updates

C-x k <ret>

this will kill the packages buffer and return you back to scratch

C-x-C-c

this will exit emacs, and let you relaunch via, but you might have to debug :(
