I'm using this. What other ways are there?

    (let ((minver "28.2"))
      (when (version< emacs-version minver)
        (error "This config requires Emacs v%s or higher." minver)))
;; Load the Emacs Lisp code blocks embedded in the literate Org file
(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name &quot;~/.emacs.d/custom-init.org&quot;))

I want to do do the check in init.el before the literate configuration loads.

Not clear what the question is. Does your code do what you want? If not, specify the problem. if it does, then what are you asking for? – Drew Feb 11 '23 at 17:34
Yes, it does. I wasn't sure if "error" is the right function to use. My elisp knowledge is limited. – Zoli Feb 11 '23 at 17:43

If your code works then what is the question? What are you requesting? – Drew Feb 11 '23 at 18:49
I think the question is something along "is it the correct/recomended way to do that?" – JeanPierre Feb 20 '23 at 15:49
