Question

I recently upgraded Emacs Cider through MELPA and it seems to have a bug on my machine. I don't need the bleeding edge builds and am happy to go back to an older build until they fix the issue. However I'm not sure how to install an older version of a package that exists in the package list.

I am looking to either:

  1. Install an older version of Cider through the native Emacs package manager
  2. Install an older version of Cider from source

Edit: this was closed as a duplicate of Is it possible to downgrade packages installed with ELPA?, however that one didn't have an answer, so I re-asked the question.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can do the following

1) Uninstall cider from emacs' native package manager. (Do M-x list-packages mark the cider package using d and then hit x to delete the package)

2) Download the last version which worked for you from cider's releases page

3) Follow the manual installation instructions given here

Hope this helps!
