Installation & Usage

emacs 24

0. If emacs24 not installed

      $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
      $ sudo apt-get install emacs24
   

1. install color-theme-solarized

      $ git clone https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized.git;
      $ sudo mv emacs-color-theme-solarized ~/.emacs.d/emacs-color-theme-solarized
   

   OR

   $ cd ~/.emacs.d;

   $ git submodule add https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized.git;

   OR

   install from marmalade using :

   package-install color-theme-solarized

2. Add (load-theme 'solarized-[light|dark] t) to your emacs init file.

   The final .emacs.d/init.el looks as :

   (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/emacs-color-theme-solarized")

   (load-theme 'solarized-dark t)

3. Reload the init file, or restart emacs24.

[color-theme] (pre-Emacs 24)

1. Download and install [color-theme].
2. Add the emacs-color-theme-solarized directory to your Emacs load-path.
3. Add (require 'color-theme-solarized) to your Emacs init file (usually ~/.emacs).
4. Reload the init file, or restart Emacs.
5. Use the usual [color-theme] mechanism to select one of the Solarized themes, or M-x color-theme-solarized-[light|dark].
