Search for Emacs when using Alpine Linux

I am trying to test some software on Alpine Linux. I need to make some configuration changes so I need Emacs. emacs is the name of the package per Alpine Linux | Emacs. apk add emacs is failing due to missing package.

According to Alpine Linux package management | Search for Packages I am supposed to be able to locate the package with one of these commands:

$ apk search emacs

$



$ apk search -v emacs

$



$ apk search -v 'emacs*' 

$

What is the name of the Emacs package in Alpine Linux? Or, if the name is correct, how do I install it?

Here's the error I am trying to work around. I assume I have the wrong package name, and I need something like emacs-24.5 or emacs-nox.

# apk add emacs

ERROR: unsatisfied constraints

  emacs (missing)

    required by: world[emacs]

I think you’re missing the community repository in ‘/etc/apk/repositories’ (ships as commented out)
