I am trying to test some software on Alpine Linux. I need to make some configuration changes so I need Emacs. emacs is the name of the package per Alpine Linux | Emacs. apk add emacs is failing due to missing package.
According to Alpine Linux package management | Search for Packages I am supposed to be able to locate the package with one of these commands:
$ apk search emacs
$
$ apk search -v emacs
$
$ apk search -v 'emacs*'
$
What is the name of the Emacs package in Alpine Linux? Or, if the name is correct, how do I install it?
Here's the error I am trying to work around. I assume I have the wrong package name, and I need something like emacs-24.5 or emacs-nox.
# apk add emacs
ERROR: unsatisfied constraints
emacs (missing)
required by: world[emacs]

I think you’re missing the community repository in ‘/etc/apk/repositories’ (ships as commented out)
