Okay, so this is probably a stupid question, I use Pop!_OS & the current emacs version is Emacs-27 So, If I had to install the latest one (Emacs-29.1 or even Emacs-30.0.93) what does one have to do, compile it manually ?

Or is there another way ?

    <u>So the sequence is as follows</u>:-

    1. First of all we’ll have to do this in Debian
    apt build-dep emacs
    1. Next up
    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git
    1. Then we do this after navigating to the emacs source code folder
    ./configure && make && make install

    Did I miss anything ??

      you might have to set a different --prefix during the ./configure stage if you don’t want to install it as root, but other than that, i think this is it. please read the INSTALL file and also the output of ./configure --help
