Hi, the link to the gif in Part 1.4 at the end of the "Set your font" section no longer exists (https://github.com/nobiot/Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam/blob/main/images/2020-06-16_18-16-01.gif)

In your next-to-final step after restarting Emacs

Invoke org-roam-find-file by typing C-c n /, and then press TAB to let Emacs list the titles of your files...

I am not shown the contents of my roam directory, just a blank mini-buffer. But if I invoke org-roam-find-directory I do get my roam directory where the two files new-file.org and second-file.org. I can chose these, and then, yes, org-roam seems to know about them, i.e., I invoke the backlink buffer and see that my two files created in the previous guide are noted.

Also, in this guide you don't establish a roam directory, i.e., (org-roam-directory "~/Dropbox/org/roam/")

This is my init based on what you say here and the main org-roam readme Installation section

(use-package org-roam
  :ensure t
  :hook
  (after-init . org-roam-mode)
  :custom
  (org-roam-directory "~/Dropbox/org/roam/")
  :bind (:map org-roam-mode-map
              (("C-c n l" . org-roam)
               ("C-c n f" . org-roam-find-file)
               ("C-c n g" . org-roam-graph))
              :map org-mode-map
              (("C-c n i" . org-roam-insert))
              (("C-c n I" . org-roam-insert-immediate))))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c n r") #'org-roam-buffer-toggle-display)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c n b") #'org-roam-switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c n d") #'org-roam-find-directory)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c n c") #'org-roam-db-build-cache)

(require 'company-org-roam)
(push 'company-org-roam company-backends)

Disclaimer: I didn't start this guide with emacs -Q, rather, my existing Emacs/org-mode config.

I've also been using a similar process for inserting clipboard images into org files, and this is where I found it.

Might have been the same place you also came across it.
(Hope this isn't rude or anything. This is the first github issue I have raised.)

Swapping caps and control can be done with the keyboard manager from the official Microsoft project PowerToys. Included is the KeyboardManager which allows the mapping of CapsLock to Control (among other things). It includes other utilities, but all are disabled by default. I personally use it specifically for this reason.

It seems you can use chocolatey to install hunspell easily.

Below the second image.

The second list item:

Set a variable within Emacs

is a link to:
https://org-roam.github.io/org-roam/manual/Post_002dInstallation-Tasks

Clicking on the link, opens a page that says:

404
File not found

Runing Msys2 version of Emacs 26.3 Org version 9.19, and Firefox 79.0, clicking on the org-roam graph will throw up a blank file.

The patch for Chrome (https://github.com/nobiot/Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam/blob/main/90.org-protocol.md#chrome-only-patch-org-mode-for-org-protocol-and-org-roam-protocol) can solve this issue.

In the section Set-up Org-roam, there is this line:

Now you can save this. Let's quit Emacs and relaunch it. Once you see the start screen, invoke M-h e to view "echo message." Do you notice the two files and one link you created earlier have been added to Org-roam's database?

By default, M-h is bound to mark-paragraph, so "M-h e" just types 'e' into the active buffer.

Another custom configuration I've missed, perhaps?

Hello!
I tried to follow the instructions to install org-roam on Windows. I started with a clean Emacs installation, added Melpa, org, and org-roam. Downloaded the sqlite executables and verified they run from the command line.

When Emacs starts, I get Symbol's function definition is void: org-roam-mode.

I uninstalled and then re-installed -- messages show:

Could not find C compiler, skipping SQLite build
Org-roam initialization: (error "No EmacSQL SQLite binary available, aborting")
Operation [ Install 1 ] finished

The docs suggest that this step isn't necessary if I make the sqlite executables available (by adding it to exec-path).

So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong -- I tried specifying the path as c:/dev/bin, which is a directory that contains sqlite3.exe, etc., but also with the slashes the other way, and suffixed with a slash.

Thanks so much!

Roam is a very promising tool and I have followed the instructions to set up org roam on Windows. However, it still doesn't work. When I "C-c n l" to open a new org file, it just says "No EmacSQL SQLite binary available, aborting".

I did install gcc through msys64 and install sqlite3 and put them in the path. Any insights will be helpful if I should go to modify the roam .el file.

In Windows 11, at least, the following worked for me (and feels a little less involved than MSYS2). From admin CMD prompt:

1. winget install LLVM.LLVM
2. set PATH=%PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\LLVM\bin
3. (optional) where clang to verify clang is available
4. run emacs from this prompt and proceed to "Install Org-roam in Emacs" phase -- emacsql-sqlite should compile fine...
