Finding .emacs file Fedora 20

Using Fedora 20 with Emacs installed using

yum install emacs

I'm unable to find the .emacs file. I've referenced the Gnu docs and the file doesn't exist under any of the names provided.

Could you please tell me how to find the .emacs file and why it's not located in the usual ~/.emacs ?

Thank you for your time.

Solution

  • ~/.emacs is for your own, personal configuration. You must create it yourself. (If you like, you can create ~/.emacs.d/init.el instead.)
