I have installed emacs by typing brew install emacs
. It has been installed successfully, but typing brew linkups --verbose
says:
No apps linked to /Applications
Is there a way that I could have emacs in my Applications folder?

Homebrew Homebrew has Emacs 24.5. Its a:
A Cocoa-specific Emacs.app can be built using the --with-cocoa switch
To install and link, please run these command in your shell:
1. brew update
2. brew install emacs --with-cocoa
3. brew linkapps emacs
To start Emacs from the launchpad or from Spotlight:
1. sudo rm /usr/bin/emacs (removes the older version)
2. sudo rm -rf /usr/share/emacs
Or just create an alias in your shell:
alias emacs="/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.x/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw"
To make it permanent, if using bash, add that line to ~/.bash_profile.
You could also follow these commands, to install with a Package Manager:
1. brew install --with-cocoa emacs
2. brew install --with-cocoa --srgb emacs (to get some colours)
3. ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.5/Emacs.app /Applications (for linking)
After installation, using the emacs command in the terminal or shell will run the -nw version of Emacs.
Hope this works for you.
Thank you.
