Scala with Emacs

[willmann817@gmail.com]

Good Evening,

I am brand new to Emacs.  I have done a few tutorials and though it will take me awhile to get use to all the new keyboard shortcuts I am confident I can pick it up if I continue to force myself to use it.  

I need help understanding a few things first though specifically regarding to scala. I have Emacs for Windows.  I am running Windows 7.  I already have the scala language installed on my machine. This is the major mode that I want to use: https://github.com/hvesalai/scala-mode2

Here are my questions:

How to install this?  I have read about editing the emacs.el file or emacs.init and stuff like that and stuff about MELPA and I still do not understand it.  I did find an emacs.el file but I did not know where to add the code from the readme in that file.  Is there anything else I need to do?

Since I am not an Emacs power user and have not learned Emacs Lisp yet is there anyone who can give me very simple step by step instructions (to include file names and paths and code etc.) that I need to properly add the scala-mode2 (see link above) to my emacs.

Thanks a bunch!
