M-x emacs

M-x emacs

[GinjiBan]

Hi guys. I'm running on Fedora 14.
I installed emacs and i wanted to change the color of the terminal.
I decided to follow this tutorial :
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/emacs#avoir_des_themes_pour_emacs

The probleme is : when i press ALT + X and color-theme-select  it says to me
: Command not found...

Sounds like you need to load library color-theme.el.

Which version of GNU Emacs are you using? Did you load color-theme before successfully?

Thx guys for you answers.
I downloaded emacs color theme and i extracted it in my User folder
I'm a biginner and i don"t realy know how to process...
I only extract the emacs color theme folder in my user folder. I don't know
if i should do something else in order to install it.
In some tutorial i also see an .'emacs' folder; i know that's a hidden
folder but i don't know where is it and how to display it.

When i'm on the emacs's terminal and when i type : apt-get install
emacs-goodies-el : it doesn't found the file.


Thanks you for your help :).

See the Emacs manual (`C-h r', or `C-h i' and choose `Emacs').
In the manual, use `i load-path RET' to go to node `Lisp Libraries' and read
about variable `load-path'.

To load a library (e.g. `color-theme.el'):

1. Put the file in a directory that is in your `load-path'. You can use `M-x
customize-option load-path' to set that variable to search the folder(s) where
you keep Lisp libraries.

2. Add (require 'THE-LIBRARY) to your init file (~/.emacs).  For example,
(require 'color-theme).

Unsolicited advice:

But you really must spend a little time with the Emacs manual first, especially
if you are going to start loading 3rd-party libraries such as color-theme.el.

Otherwise, you will be asking questions here for every single thing you run into
when trying to set up and use such libraries.

People here are willing to help, but you must help yourself also.  The Emacs
manual is helpful and extensive.  It is written with you in mind.  But learning
requires a bit of work, and it comes progressively.

An alternative is to NOT start out so soon trying to install 3rd-party
libraries.  Learn a bit more about Emacs first.  It will come, little by little.

Trying to download a giant sack of Emacs goodies and load it all up at once is
asking for trouble, especially if you know next to nothing about Emacs and
loading libraries.

IOW, walk first, then run.  We can't really run for you.

(1) I *think* emacs-goodies-el is a Debian/Ubuntu package - and you're
running Fedora 14.

(2) ~/.emacs should be a file (not a folder) that is in your home
directory. The dot in front means that it is normally invisible. You
can 'find' the file to open and edit in Emacs using C-x C-f (find
file).

(3) Finally, I have installed a colour theme (solarized) by inserting
the following lines in my .emacs file:

;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Colour theming
;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/lisp/emacs-color-theme-solarized")
(require 'color-theme-solarized)

(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
  '(progn
     (color-theme-initialize)
     (color-theme-solarized-light)))


I'm guessing that I must have followed the instructions at:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ColorTheme 

Now obviously all of this works because I have a file called
color-theme-solarized.el in my ~/lisp/emacs-color-theme-solarized
folder, and note that even though I placed the file (and others for
the theme) there I still need to have 'require' in the script to make
Emacs use color-theme. 

I don't know if I had to install color-theme itself (don't recall) - I
suspect it came with my Emacs or with emacs-goodies (I run
Debian/Ubuntu). That is why you were asked what version of Emacs you
were running earlier. So, I *think* I only had to install the
individual theme that I use (solarized) but not color-theme itself.

J'espère que vous aidez,
Jonathan
