Recommended way: use your package manager
We recommend users to install color-theme using their respective distribution package manager.
Here are examples:
# Debian and derived apt-get install emacs-goodies-el # Gentoo emerge color-theme # Slackware via SBo sbopkg -i color-theme-el
For further specific post-configuration steps, ask directly to them
Quickstart
This section suppose you have already installed color-theme-el either using the tarball or using a package manager.
All you need to do in order to configure your color-theme-el package is to add this to your .emacs.el file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/color-theme.el/file") (require 'color-theme) (eval-after-load "color-theme" '(progn (color-theme-initialize) (color-theme-hober)))
Then you can choose your color-theme theme by issuing M-x color-theme-<TAB> RET
