The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7.

- Nsxwidget - NS Cocoa backend for Emacs xwidgets. This repo supports Emacs feature xwidgets on native macOS X Cocoa. Though original Emacs xwidgets builds and works on macOS but must build and run with X window and GTK instead of macOS's own GUI framework, resulting unaligned styles and UX with surrounding desktop environment.

GNU Emacs For Mac OS X Pure builds of Emacs for Mac OS X. Download Emacs Version 26.3 Universal Binary (63.494 MB) Released 2019-09-02 Usually there's a nifty page here with a big download button. But you are using a browser which doesn't support SVG. I extensively use /usr/bin/emacs in Terminal. I have Emacs 22 and I'd like to upgrade it to 23. I wonder how to do it. Googling 'emacs download mac' gives me Emacs.app which has its own window and user interface, but I don't want that. I am not sure how I have /usr/bin/emacs in the first place, maybe it came with Mac. Emacs is installed on macOS by default, but a very old version, version 22.1, dated 2007. In terminal, type. Download Emacs Binary from apt-get. In terminal, type: which emacs → check if emacs is installed and in your path. Emacs -version → print version. Emacs → launch emacs.

Important Info for 10.5 Users
OS X Software Updates have included some of the work done by the XQuartz project, but for various reasons, Apple cannot ship the latest and greatest version offered by the XQuartz site. Since the XQuartz X11 package clobbers Apple's X11.app, their software update will clobber the XQuartz X11 package. Because of this, you may experience conflicts after doing a Software Update from Apple. Please re-install the latest XQuartz X11 release for Leopard after installing a system software update to OS X 10.5.x Leopard.
