Well, a common way of 'installing' modes in emacs is a case of putting the
mode's source code elisp files (.el) in a place where they can be found by
emacs, i.e., in a directory listed in the `load-path' variable, and then having
them autoloaded at start-up.
So, create an elisp directory in your home directory;
/home/jeessy/elisp
for instance. Next, add the following line to your /home/jeessy/.emacs file;
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jeessy/elisp")
Most modes are entered using an interactive command such as 'M-x css-mode', and
assuming the elisp source is called 'css.el', you then need to add the following
line anywhere after the previous line;
(autoload 'css-mode "css" "CSS editing mode" t nil)
| | |
M-x css-mode | |
| |
source file css.el |
|
This can be anything
Save your .emacs file, quit emacs (assuming you've been using it to edit your
.emacs file) and re-launch. You should be on your way. Just type M-x css-mode
and enjoy :-)

P.S. I'm not sure about Windows when it comes to home directories :-/

Maybe you don't have one yet ? Did you ever customized / installed
something else with emacs ?
Let's try with emacs : open ~/.emacs (C-x C-f ~/.emacs) the '~' sign
stands for your home directory. If the file exist Emacs will open it,
else it will create a new file.
And the ~ directory location depends on your windows system and the
environment : Emacs (and some other programs too) looks for the $HOME
environment variable.
If it is not defined, your ~ directory will probably be c:\ or
c:\documents and settings\your account\
To define the $HOME variable, look into c:\autoexec.bat for the 95/98/Me
family and add line with a SET HOME=path\of\your\choice
To define that variable with NT4/W2k/XP, look into the system icon in
the control panel, there is a button that lets you define the
environment.
Once the variable set you might have to reboot (95/98/Me) or simply
restart Emacs.
And as said Bastien : il y a un groupe *français* pour Emacs
(fr.comp.applications.emacs) ;o)
HTH.

Open emacs on Windows, then load ~/.emacs
Emacs will automatically go to what is considered your home directory
and attempt to open this file. You can see which directory you're in
by executing a dired command from within this file (C-x d)
Alternately, you can set the home environment variable to the
directory of your choosing. I have cygwin installed, and have set the
home directory to c:/cygwin/home/cmcmahan. Works just like a unix
environment for me (with a few caveats).
I set up my environment variables from within my .tcshrc, then launch
emacs from that shell to inherit them on startup. I avoid messing with
the windows environment, but can customize my emacs and cygwin
variables to my heart's content!

So you now have some useful Windows info.
In short you have to create your own ~/.emacs if you don't have one.
Emacs will read then read it at start-up.
It's such a plain and simple file, but don't call it ~/.emacs.txt !!!
It must be ~/.emacs (or $HOME/.emacs).
You can just copy and paste this if you like:
sebyte
;; my ~/.emacs
;;
;; elsip (emacs lisp) uses semi-colons for comments
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jeessy/elisp") ;change according to Windows'
;requirements
(autoload 'css-mode "css-mode" "CSS editing mode" t nil) ;"css-mode" corresponds
;to the filename
(global-font-lock-mode 1) ;this will ensure syntax highlighting works
;; end of your ~/.emacs
;;
;; very soon this will be two pages long :-)
