“GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive—The default package repository for GNU Emacs.”
This should already be in Emacs (for Emacs 24+):
package-archives
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
You can also add repositories one at a time:
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t) ; Org-mode's repository
To use it, type ‘M-x list-packages’ in Emacs.
Since you’ll probably want to use your installed packages, it’s also
recommended that you add (package-initialize)
somewhere in your
$HOME/.emacs
file.
