I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with Emacs 24.5

If I run:

M-x package-refresh-contents [RET]

I get back the message:

Contacting host: melpa.org:443

If I try to install this package with:

M-x package-install [RET] indium [RET]

I get back:

Package 'emacs-25' is unavailable

Evidentially the indium package has an explicit dependency on Emacs 25, and therefore you cannot install it on Emacs 24.

  • Actually, you should be able to install it if you run `(add-to-list 'package--builtin-versions '(emacs 25))` first. Whether it will work is a different question. – Nova Jul 20 '17 at 20:58
  • In general that sounds like a really bad idea :) – phils Jul 20 '17 at 23:23
