bible/INSTALL

* Emacs Bible Installation:

- First install `diatheke'. On Debian/Ubuntu it's in the `diatheke'
  package. In other distributions it might be in the `sword' package.

  - For Windows I found that you can simply install the Xiphos package
    from https://xiphos.org. It includes the Sword library and its
    utilities including diatheke, installmgr and mkfastmod. Add the
    "Program Files\Xiphos\bin" path to your execution path.

- Next get the Bible texts (modules) you want to use. This can be done
  with the installmgr utility, or if you use a program like BibleTime
  or Xiphos you can use the GUI interface that they provide.

** The following scripts facilitate verifying your environment and
   installing appropriate modules:

- test --- This script just tries to see if your emacs can run the
  diatheke program. It will print out the Bible text modules and the
  Lexicon / Dictionary modules.

- setup --- this script will use the installmgr program to install a
  default set of the modules this program uses.


** Module Installation
