I'm new to emacs configuration. I created a init.ep file at ~/.emacs.d$

contents from melpa: (https://melpa.org/#/solarized-theme) (require 'package) (let* ((no-ssl (and (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos)) (not (gnutls-available-p)))) (proto (if no-ssl "http" "https"))) (when no-ssl (warn "
Your version of Emacs does not support SSL connections, which is unsafe because it allows man-in-the-middle attacks. There are two things you can do about this warning:

1. Install an Emacs version that does support SSL and be safe.
2. Remove this warning from your init file so you won't see it again.")) ;; Comment/uncomment these two lines to enable/disable MELPA and MELPA Stable as desired (add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa" (concat proto "://melpa.org/packages/")) t) ;;(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa-stable" (concat proto "://stable.melpa.org/packages/")) t ) (when (< emacs-major-version 24) ;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib (add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "gnu" (concat proto "://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))))) (package-initialize)

??? I tried package-install solarized-theme (NO LUCK)

I think you are missing a backslash in (warn " when it should be (warn "\ Also did you run M-x list-packages before running package-install solarized-theme?
