Install d12frosted/emacs-plus
#

brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
brew install emacs-plus --with-native-comp --with-modern-black-dragon-icon

Wait for it to finish installing (may take a while since it’s compiling from source via --with-native-comp).

After it’s done, link the app with either:

ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app /Applications

or

osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app" at POSIX file "/Applications"'

Install doomemacs/doomemacs
#

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs
~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

…which takes a while. Confirm yes to any prompts.

You should now be able to launch Doom Emacs from your Mac applications - it’s named “Emacs.app”
