For the HTML help system, you will need emacs-w3m support, but you can still use
the rest of the functionality without the w3m dependency.
## Optional Installation Requirements
There are two options for SuperCollider help files. They can be opened in the
help browser that ships with SuperCollider, or if you prefer an emacs-only
workflow they can be opened using the w3m browser. The browse-in-emacs option
requires an additional dependency.

`M-x sclang-customize`
If you want to change from the default `sclang_conf.yaml` file used by your
emacs sessions you can customize the `sclang-library-configuration-file`
variable, but make sure that file loads the scel quark, or you won't be
able to run sclang code.
NOTE: If you use an sclang configuration file different from the default
`sclang_conf.yaml`, you need to specify it in scel by customizing the
`sclang-library-configuration-file `variable. Otherwise, even after installing
the Quark in SuperCollider, you won't be able to run sclang code in emacs.
