Have trouble installing org mode (emacs)

I'm having trouble installing Org mode. I'm new to emacs and org mode. I've downloaded Org Mode from GNU site and extracted the zip file. However, I was unable to find .emacs file to set the load-path which is (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp").

Could anyone help me find this .emacs file? Cheers

Another way to install emacs packages is to use the el-get package manager

https://github.com/dimitri/el-get

I use this for 80% of the packages I use daily.

Emacs looks for the .emacs file in $HOME directory. To open the file, just do:

C-x C-f ~/.emacs

(If you are curious) to see where your home directory is, do the following:

  1. Enter M-x eshell
  2. Enter echo $HOME
