I'm trying to install ripgrep in emacs in order to use it with hledger-mode
I added this lines to my ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(require 'rg)
(rg-enable-default-bindings)
And running emacs -nw --debug-init shows me this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "rg")
this is my brew info rg

When installing ripgrep with brew, you're making it available for your computer on the command line, ie the terminal. It doesn't mean you told Emacs how to use it. For that you have to follow installation instruction from here.
The easiest solution would be to mimic the way it is done in your
init.elformu4e, ie :1). download rg.el from the GitHub link of the installation instruction above
2). Place the file somewhere in your .emacs.d/ folder
3). Add the path to the rg.el file the same way it is done in your init.el for mu4e and the require 'rg
Doing this should fix your problem, but for a better understanding of Emacs configuration I recommend you look at System crafter's YouTube channel
