Although you can obtain the latest version of the source code by anonymous CVS from the Emacs project page, Emacs cannot bootstrap on Mac OS 8/9 so the Lisp files must be compiled on another platform (such as Mac OS X). Obtaining Files for Emacs 21.1.
- GNU Emacs for Windows can be downloaded from a nearby GNU mirror; or the main GNU FTP server. Unzip the zip file preserving the directory structure, and run bin runemacs.exe. Alternatively, create a desktop shortcut to bin runemacs.exe, and start Emacs by double-clicking on that shortcut's icon. The Windows binaries are signed by Phillip Lord.
To get started quickly: For many platforms such as Windows, Linux, open source BSDs, and Mac OS X, recent versions of XEmacs are included in various distributions. Commercial Unix versions may also have precompiled binary distributions.
- Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista
- The Cygwin distribution provides a Unix emulation environment, and a setup tool which you can use to select and download XEmacs itself, various add-on packages for XEmacs, and binary utilities such as aspell and its dictionaries and the patch and diff utilities. (Windows Vista is not heavily tested yet, but it should work.)
- Mac OS X
- The Fink and MacPorts projects both provide XEmacs packages, as well as the third party utilities.
- FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
- The FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD projects all provide XEmacs ports.
- Linux
- All of the major Linux vendors provide XEmacs packages, often in various configurations. Use the usual tool for your distro to select, download, and install XEmacs.
- Commercial Unixes
- The Solaris Open Source Companion Disk contains a package of XEmacs. The HP/UX Porting Center provides a distribution of XEmacs, too.

You can also use the precompiled executables that can be found in the binaries directory in the mirrors below. However, many facilities provided by XEmacs require other binaries (eg, the patch and diff utilities, or ispell and its dictionaries) and you will have to get them yourself. Binaries are made by volunteers, so they are not available for all supported platforms.
For Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP: You can get the current stable version of XEmacs InnoSetup install kit (Install Now!). The latest Beta version and a Gnuclient InnoSetup kit are also available there. Read also about the benefits of Cygwin for Native Windows XEmacs.
For UNIX: Oldish binaries for XEmacs 21.1.3 are available for Linux, Solaris, AIX, Irix, FreeBSD, NetBSD, HP/UX, and DEC OSF. Binaries for some version of XEmacs 21.4 are available for a few platforms. (21.4 was just promoted into the stable version, and 21.1 retired.) However, it is normally quite easy, and much preferable, to download the sources and build XEmacs yourself on any of the vast number of supported platforms -- a sophisticated auto-configuring script is provided to simplify the process.
For MacOS: No standalone binaries are currently available.
