Apologies for this newbie type question, but can someone help me change emacs color theme?
I've tried following various GNU guides such as https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorThemes which takes me to http://www.nongnu.org/color-theme/ from which I can download http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/color-theme/
In the color-theme homepage there is a section on
but I don't know where Linux pkg managers install this.
Then there is some info:-
All you need to do in order to configure your color-theme-el package is to add this to your .emacs.el file:
so, presuming the above code goes in ~/.emacs.el, then I guess the "/path/to/color-theme.el/file" will be wherever I extracted color-theme.el eg ~/.emacs.d/themes/, should I expect to be able to ?
If I do I get an error saying 'No such file or directory, color-theme'
Just can't get my head around this....

Download and installation

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:
Code:
(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)))
so, presuming the above code goes in ~/.emacs.el, then I guess the "/path/to/color-theme.el/file" will be wherever I extracted color-theme.el eg ~/.emacs.d/themes/, should I expect to be able to ?
Code:
M-x load-file
Load file: ~/.emacs
If I do I get an error saying 'No such file or directory, color-theme'
Just can't get my head around this....
