Hi Guys,

I have installed the latest Emacs 26.3 on my Ubuntu 18.04.4. I tried to install the Dracula theme following https://draculatheme.com/emacs [M-x package-install dracula-theme]. The package is not present on the list.

Could I please ask you for advice on how I can fix that?

Best regards and stay safe,
Krzysztof

try M-x package-refresh-contents first

Hi,

I tried refreshing package contents and my Emacs still does not see the Dracula theme.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

are you using this repo for your config or you just started with vanilla emacs? the theme you've mentioned is on Melpa, you might want to add this line (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)

Hi,

I installed the latest Emacs via Ubuntu's packet manager (Emacs 26.3), then I installed Prelude.

  1. When I do M-x package-refresh-contents, I see an information that Emacs contacts Elpa and then Melpa, and finally it says Package refresh done.

  2. I see that Melpa is already added in prelude-packages.el fine

What I don't understand is as Melpa seems to be added and Emacs contacts Melpa while doing package-refresh-contents why doesn't it see Dracula on the list of available packages?

Thanks
