I didn’t know about Fira Code font, I should check it out, @terakilobyte why do you include alchemist on the additional-packages, isn’t it included with the Elixir layer?

It might be now, dunno. My config file has changed very little over time. I’ve only changed it when I want something new or need to fix something, and currently “it ain’t broke”.

I wanted to try it out, but it doesn’t seem like it’s actually up on MELPA yet. Do you have an ETA on that? I see that as of writing there was apparently a build going on and they apparently take 4 hours. Do you think it’ll be in the next load on MELPA?

If you do use spacemacs, and have a custom layer for your themes, you can fetch it from github otherwise we’d have to wait for the MELA recipe to be available. 
@gon782 looks like it’s ready now.

Checking it out now. The obvious downside is that like a lot of dark themes with dark-but-not-black backgrounds it looks wonky in a terminal (odd blue background), but it looks really nice in the GUI version. I’m gonna use it as my main theme for the coming week and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks!

Hi all, I am just updating the wiki, can you please confirm the recommended set-up installation procedure please? Is it as follows:
- Install Emacs
- Install SpaceMacs
Then:
- Install Elixir Layer as per spacemacs/layers/+lang/elixir at master · syl20bnr/spacemacs · GitHub (includes Alchemist)
OR
- Install Alchemist via GitHub - tonini/alchemist.el: Elixir Tooling Integration Into Emacs · GitHub
What’s the best approach?

Use the first approach. the second one is for pure emacs and might be discovered as an orphan and deleted by Spacemacs.

Thanks both I have updated the wiki 
can you please take a look and let me know if it’s ok?
Also, what’s the best way to install packages? Such as this one: smooth-scroll.el/smooth-scroll.el at master · k-talo/smooth-scroll.el · GitHub
;; INSTALLING
;; ==========
;; To install this library, save this file to a directory in your
;;load-path' (you can view the currentload-path’ using “C-h v
;; load-path RET” within Emacs), then add the following line to your
;; .emacs startup file:
;;
;; (require 'smooth-scroll)
;; (smooth-scroll-mode t)
;;
;;
Where in the .spacemacs file should we add those two lines? And where in the .emacs directory should we copy the file? (/layers or /private or?). Once confirmed I’ll add this to the wiki as well
