* Setting up emacs with a local MELPA

- =important note:= do check upfront if these procedures are ok within your company's security policies.

- This is very useful when you are behind a corporate firewall or a slow proxy or even in a situation where you have no internet connection and want to hack in emacs and want to tweak your configuration.

** option 1) @d12frosted elpa mirror

*** setup

  1. git clone [[https://github.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror][d12frosted' elpa mirror]] or just put the repo inside an usb stick and place the repo in the =~/.emacs.d/mirror-elpa= folder (use the `--depth 1` option to grab just the last commit):

  

 #+BEGIN_SRC sh

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror.git  

#+END_SRC

  

  2. place the provided =init.el= file in =~/.emacs.d=.

  3. use the timeless and infinitely powerful editor at will.

  

*** init.el

    #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

      (require 'package)

      (setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

      (setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "~/.emacs.d/mirror-elpa/melpa/")

                               ("org"   . "~/.emacs.d/mirror-elpa/org/")

                               ("gnu"   . "~/.emacs.d/mirror-elpa/gnu/")))

      (package-initialize)

      (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package) ; Bootstrap John Wigley's `use-package'

        (package-refresh-contents)

        (package-install 'use-package))

      (use-package evil ; this will install evil mode even without an internet connection.

        :ensure t

        :config

        (evil-mode))

    #+END_SRC

*** advantages

    - You now have unlimited access to all of [[http://melpa.org][melpa]], [[http://elpa.gnu.org][elpa]] and [[http://orgmode.org/][orgmode]] without having to send/receive a single network packet.

    - this also means that instead of taking minutes do download your 100+ packages, it now takes nanoseconds.

*** disadvantages

    - You have to rely on @[[http://github.com/d12frosted][d12frosted]] to manually update the whole mirror. But he does a very good job at it.

** option 2) Redguardtoo's elpa-mirror

*** setup

    1. generate your thin-mirror out of your ~/.emacs.d/elpa folder using [[https://github.com/redguardtoo/][@redguartoo's]] [[https://github.com/redguardtoo/elpa-mirror][elpa-mirror]] =elpamr-create-mirror-for-installed= command.

    2. move this thin generated mirror to =~/.emacs.d/thin-elpa-mirror/=

*** init.el

    #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

      (require 'package)

      (setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

      (setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "~/.emacs.d/thin-elpa-mirror/")))

      (package-initialize)

      (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package) ; Bootstrap John Wigley's `use-package'

        (package-refresh-contents)

        (package-install 'use-package))

      (use-package evil ; this will install evil mode even without an internet connection.

        :ensure t

        :config

        (evil-mode))

    #+END_SRC

*** advantages

 - The advantage is that you don't have to wait for @[[http://github.com/d12frosted][d12frosted]] to update his mirror.

*** disadvantage

 - The disadvantage is that you are confined to the packages that you use, e.g., you can't try out new packages.
