How to set Emacs theme?

I am new to emacs and wondering how I would get it to load a theme of my choosing (http://lambda.nirv.net/m/files/color-theme-chocolate-rain.el)

I am on ubuntu, and have no idea what I am doing (yet :P) in regards to Emacs, for the most part.

Download the theme folder or download the '.el' file. Since you are on ubuntu you'll need to copy the '.el' file in to your theme-load path. Or create your custom theme-load path as follows

  • Make a directory ~/.emacs.d/themes
  • Open the '.emacs' file in emacs
  • enter the following line at the end of the file (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes")

after copying the '.el' file, add the following line in the .emacs file

(load-theme 'theme name)

e.g. (load-theme 'gotham)

Save the file and restart emacs.

This should work (you probably need to change color-theme-tty-dark to color-theme-chocolate-rain:

;; Enable a color theme
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-tty-dark)
