Do I need to sacrifice my .emacs.d to Radian?

[KingCode]

This looks veryinteresting, and I am interested in exploring it, but I am afraid to muck with my .emacs.d (see below). Does Radian need to be installed in .emacs.d? It seems that is the case.

I am currently using Chemacs to try out environments safely, which works well for me in trying new environments in parallel - without wrecking my working emacs config. So I would like to install radian in its own dir. and make that dir. user-emacs-directory for Chemacs to point to it, but from I have seen so far it looks like user-emacs-directory is the local user config within the Radian config.

Is there a way to install Radian and try it out without impacting .emacs.d? If not, I would like to suggest a future version with that capability, perhaps creating a new var radian-local-user-emacs-directory or something similar.

Thank you!

PS> I added this as an issue as well - sorry for the duplicate.

I'm sorry, for whatever reason I did not see a notification for this post until today(?!).

I agree completely that this should be a supported use case. Currently, I'm not sure whether or not it's possible. I've had the same struggle testing out Doom Emacs. I think any required changes to Radian would be pretty minimal, and I'd be happy to review them. Otherwise, this is one of many issues I will address when I have time to focus primarily on Radian.
