## 2 Installing

Flymake is packaged in a single file, `flymake.el`.

To install/update Flymake, place `flymake.el` to a directory somewhere on Emacs load path. You might also want to byte-compile `flymake.el` to improve performance.

Also, place the following line in the `.emacs` file.

         (require 'flymake)

You might also map the most frequently used Flymake functions, such as `flymake-goto-next-error`, to some keyboard shortcuts:

         (global-set-key [f3] 'flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line)
         (global-set-key [f4] 'flymake-goto-next-error)
