+> This is a quick guide on how to set emacs for a daily use if you are a beginner.
+> Hopefully advanced users could also learn a thing or two.
+> Guide is made with artix linux for the packages.
+> But it will work the exact same on other distribution.

+
+## Overview
+
+![Basic Emacs](/img/community/emacs-guide/emacs-1.png)
+
+## Requirments
+
+For this guide we will:
+
+- Use Iosevka Nerd Font.
+
+- Our Colorscheme will be gruber darker.
+
+### Package Setup
+
+Install the following programs.
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S ttf-iosevka-nerd
+```
+>You can use what ever font.
+
+# Configuration
+
+For ease of use we will be mostly on a one file configuration.
+Create a .emacs file in your home folder and open emacs and use C-x C-f.
+
+#### Evaluation
+Since emacs operates on modes will be focusing on major modes and doing basic changes.
+```lisp
+(tool-bar-mode 0)
+```
+
+You can go to the end of the file and do C-x C-e. To temporarily load it useful so it is easier to test.
+
+## Base Configuration
+
+This is the bare bones setup I think people should have.
+```lisp
+;; Basic Settings
+(tool-bar-mode 0)
+(scroll-bar-mode 0)
+(menu-bar-mode 0)
+
+;; Completion for M-x
+(ido-mode 1)
+(ido-everywhere 1)
+
+;; Line Number
+(column-number-mode 1)
+(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)
+
+```
+
+## Packages
+
+For package manager I used [tsoding](https://github.com/rexim/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs.rc/rc.el) that will autoload them for you after cloning them.
+
+Save this as *****rc.el***** in your home directory.
+```lisp
+;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
+(add-to-list 'package-archives
+             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
+;; (add-to-list 'package-archives
+;;              '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
+
+(defvar rc/package-contents-refreshed nil)
+
+(defun rc/package-refresh-contents-once ()
+  (when (not rc/package-contents-refreshed)
+    (setq rc/package-contents-refreshed t)
+    (package-refresh-contents)))
+
+(defun rc/require-one-package (package)
+  (when (not (package-installed-p package))
+    (rc/package-refresh-contents-once)
+    (package-install package)))
+
+(defun rc/require (&rest packages)
+  (dolist (package packages)
+    (rc/require-one-package package)))
+
+(defun rc/require-theme (theme)
+  (let ((theme-package (->> theme
+                            (symbol-name)
+                            (funcall (-flip #'concat) "-theme")
+                            (intern))))
+    (rc/require theme-package)
+    (load-theme theme t)))
+
+(rc/require 'dash)
+(require 'dash)
+
+(rc/require 'dash-functional)
+(require 'dash-functional)
+```
+
+To load this file to our **.emacs** add the following
+```lisp
+(load-file "~/rc.el")
+```
+
+## Themeing and Fonts 
+
+### Theme
+
+To use [gruber-darker](https://github.com/rexim/gruber-darker-theme) Add this to your ***.emacs*** file.
+```lisp
+(rc/require-theme 'gruber-darker)
+```
+
+Be sure to add the following before your basic setting.
+```lisp
+(package-initialize)
+(setq package-install-upgrade-built-in t)
+```
+
+### Font
+
+To change your font add the following to your ***.emacs***
+```lisp
+(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist `(font . "IosevkaNerdFont-18"))
+```
+
+## Useful Emacs Packages
+
+These are some of the useful emacs packages I really recommend as a new user.
+
+### Smex
+
+This will add more autocompletion for your M-x.
+```lisp
+(rc/require 'smex)
+(global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'smex)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c M-x") 'execute-extended-command)
+```
+
+### Multiple Cursor
+
+This is one of the greatest emacs package that will let u have multiple cursor.
+```lisp
+(rc/require 'multiple-cursors)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-S-c") 'mc/edit-lines)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C->")         'mc/mark-next-like-this)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-<")         'mc/mark-previous-like-this)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-<")     'mc/mark-all-like-this)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-\"")        'mc/skip-to-next-like-this)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-:")         'mc/skip-to-previous-like-this)
+```
+
+### Magit
+
+This is a git client for emacs. By Far the most superior git client out there.
+```lisp
+(require 'seq)
+(rc/require 'magit)
+(setq magit-display-buffer-function
+      #'magit-display-buffer-fullframe-status-v1)
+```
+
+### Company
+
+This is a buffer autocompletion plugin
+```lisp
+(rc/require 'company)
+(global-company-mode)
+```
