Using Emacs as editor for SBCL

Using Emacs as editor for SBCL on Windows 10

Emacs is installed in C:\emacs, using version 30.2. I run it using C:\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe.

SBCL version 2.6.4 (sbcl-2.6.4-x86-64-windows-binary.msi) is installed in C:\Program Files\Steel Bank Common Lisp
  1. Install Sly package manager in Emacs
  2. M-x package-refresh-contents
    M-x package-install RET sly RET
    
  3. Create or edit ~/.emacs.d/init.el
  4. Edit or replace contents like below
  5. Restart Emacs
  6. Load Sly
  7. M-x sly RET
    
Note: Verify that you are not using ~/.emacs, otherwise it will not load configration from ~/.emacs.d/init.el Below shows SBCL loaded.
