title: How do I install emacs on windows?
body: <p>I downloaded the tar file <a href="http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/gnu/emacs/" rel="noreferrer">emacs-24.3.tar.gz</a> and I extracted it. I look at the installation instructions <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq-w32.html#Installing" rel="noreferrer">here</a>: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You can run Emacs without any extra steps, but if you want icons in
    your Start Menu, or for Emacs to detect the image libraries that are
    already installed on your system as part of GTK, then you should run
    the program emacs-24.3\bin\addpm.exe.</p>

  <p>How do I run Emacs?</p>
  
  <p>And where is <code>emacs-24\bin\addpm.exe</code>. In the folder <code>emacs-24</code> there is no <code>bin</code> folder. So how do I run emacs after installation?</p>
