Next: Emacs configuration, Previous: Compiling Femlisp, Up: Detailed installation
Femlisp is best used from within a Lisp environment. A freely available Lisp environment is Emacs where you can use the built-in inferior-lisp-mode, Ilisp, or SLIME. Since inferior-lisp-mode is not very good and Ilisp does not seem to be actively developed anymore, I recommend installing SLIME. Allegro CL works with SLIME, too, but has also an own Emacs environment called ELI.
