Emacs with rainbow-delimiters

[wael-zwaiter]

Have put the following two lines

  (require 'rainbow-delimiters)
  (rainbow-delimiters-mode 1)

But I am getting the error

File error: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, rainbow-delimiters

My crystall ball says that you haven't installed rainbow-delimiters:

M-x package-install RET rainbow-delimiters

--

The error is pretty clear: Emacs can't find the file where
rainbow-delimiters is defined.  This leads to two possible outcomes: you
don't have the package installed (highest probability imho), or there is
something else wrong (unlikely).

Presumably you don't have the package `rainbow-delimiters` installed.
Note that the (require 'rainbow-delimiters) should be redundant since
installing the package should be enough to make it so the function
`rainbow-delimiters-mode` is autoloaded (i.e. the package will be
loaded if needed when you call the function).

Hawe put the following lines to work.

(rainbow-delimiters-mode 1)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'rainbow-delimiters-mode)

But now I would like things active on all files.
