3.4 Advanced Installation

Once you decide you want to keep Planner around for a while, there are two additional steps you can take to make using it easier and more efficient. These steps are optional.

• You can make this document, the Planner info file, appear in the index of info files you see when you type M-x info or C-h i in Emacs. The instructions for doing this vary depending on whether you have permission to edit certain files on your system. Follow the instructions in Installing an Info File, using something like:

            * Planner: (path/to/planner/Planner). Organizer/day planner
            for Emacs.
  

  for the new entry in the info dir file.

• You can byte-compile planner.el, Muse, remember.el, or any of the optional modules you frequently use, in order to improve the speed of their execution. Basically, all you need to do is (1) change the directory for each project listed in scripts/planner-build.el, (2) copy Makefile.defs.default to Makefile.defs and edit it as needed, and (3) run make from the command line.
