However, how you start emacs in a terminal depends on how emacs was installed and which version of emacs. Note that the emacs which macOS includes is VERY old (I think it is Emacs 21). This is really too old to be useful these days. You need to install a current version of Emacs. My recommendation would be to use homebrew to do this. However, I fear, based on the questions ask, the OPs familiarity of the OS is likely to make installing homebrew and then emacs a bit challenging to do via email. Certainly would be off topic for the org mode list. Possibly better help would be available via the emacs help list. I would try to help further, but I don't have a working macOS system at present, so cannot refresh/verify the steps to get sufficient clarity to be helpful.

Renato, I'm not a Mac user, but I imagine it will be like any other Unix: you have to launch a terminal from your desktop (i guess there will be in macos an app called "terminal" or something like that), and once inside the terminal, just type: emacs --debug-init and press enter. Emacs (GUI) will open and you should pay attention to the error messages that Emacs will show you. That will give you a clue as to where the error is in your Emacs startup. Best regards, Juan Manuel

Given our lack of information, our guesses will be almost certainly wrong :-) So give us a chance: - try starting Emacs with --debug-on-init, an possibly report results here - try bisecting the file: remove parts of it (always taking care of the syntax), see in which "half" the error occurs - post your init.el here (BE CAREFUL: please, double-check that it doesn't contain sensitive information: passwords, personal information, things your employer could consider to be trade secrets, that kind of stuff).

Error opening an .org file
When I try to open a simple file in emacs, I receive this error Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/Users/renatopontefice/.emacs.d/init.el’: Invalid read syntax: ), 1, 0 To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. Disable showing Disable logging So the prob is on my init.el file. What error it could be? Thank you Renato
