Doom-emacs: [HOWTO] install org-ref in doom-emaxy way

[zenny]

Hi,

Great project.

I tried to install a wonderful package https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref into doom-emacs.

But there is no package with M-x package-install.

I added a line in .emacs.d/init.el it asks me to install epdinfo , when confirmed with an yes, sudo password was asked, but reported the specific letter of the password was UNDEFINED after pressing each key of the letter!

M-x doom/info output is as follows:

```

• OS: gnu/linux (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
• Shell: /bin/bash
• Emacs: 26.2 (Jun 03, 2019)
• Doom: 2.0.9 (HEAD -> develop, origin/develop, origin/HEAD c99c184 2019-07-09 23:30:59 +0200)

  What is the ideal way to install a new package in doom-emacs? Can anyone elaborate?

Cheers,

Emacs/doom noob myself, but the "doom way" to add new packages is to add them to your private module (~/.doom.d directory). You can find more info in the wiki here: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/wiki/Customization#install-my-own-packages and here https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/wiki/Modules

tldr, something like (didn't try this myself):

In ~/.doom.d/packages.el:

(package! org-ref)

In ~/.doom.d/config.el:

(def-package! org-ref
    :after org
    :init
    ; code to run before loading org-ref
    :config
    ; code to run after loading org-ref
    )

Then run ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom refresh

@netpro2k Thanks for your input, shall try.

This doesn't seem to work for me:

    → Cloning org-ref...
    → Cloning org-ref...done
    → Building org-ref...
    → Building org-ref → Cloning helm...
    → Building org-ref → Cloning helm...done

    → Building org-ref → Cloning helm-bibtex...
    → Building org-ref → Cloning helm-bibtex...done
    → Building org-ref → Building helm-bibtex...
x There was an unexpected error:
  Type: doom-package-error
  Message:
    Error with packages
  Data:
    "org-ref"
    (error "Could not find package bibtex-completion in recipe repositories: (org-elpa melpa gnu-elpa-mirror emacsmirror-mirror)")
    ""

I'm not quite sure what to do about this.

@ocharles Unrelated issue. See https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/2802#issuecomment-606654151.

Since this issue was answered I'll consider it resolved.
