Emacs cannot find a package to install

I got this error while trying to install the Emacs package automatically.

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/username/.emacs.d/init.el':

File error: http://melpa.org/packages/projectile-20150619.800.el, Not found

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

You need to update the ELPA package archives with first first M-x package-refresh-contents, as yours is outdated so the package manager cannot download the package for you.



You can also install packages from the Package Menu (enter via M-x list-packages), the update will be done automatically.

And here is my solution:



  • Open your browser and type: http://melpa.org/

  • Search package name: 'projectile'

  • Then download and extract the package to ~ / .emacs.d / elpa

If you are using ubuntu you can also just use apt-get install elpa-projectile

as described in the documentation .
