Don't worry. If .emacs doesn't exist, visit it in the default directory and
it will be created automatically. (If you know how to set an environment
variable, you could mock GNU and Unix setting HOME to /home/username.)

To change the default colors, you could append something like this to your
.emacs:

(when window-system
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "black"))
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "cyan"))
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(cursor-color . "yellow")))
