Hi, just started using Emacs (not really expert!) and couldn't find a way to make Catppuccin theme work till I noticed an Emacs message about a missing definitions.el file in the .emacs.d directory.
I've copied ~/.emacs.d/elpa/catppuccin-theme-20240829.2151/definitions.el into ~/.emacs.d and everything started to work as expected 🎉

As already written I'm not expert and I don't know if that file is supposed to be automatically copied into .emacs.d or not, if this situation happens only with the combination of operating system and software on my computer.
Anyway, if coping that file is an expected step for the Catppuccin configuration, then it could be add to the README.md file.

Cheers!

That's weird, it should be looking for catppuccin-definitions.el. That file is most certainly not supposed to be in .emacs.d. Can you evaluate (press M-:) (progn (scratch-buffer) (cl-prettyprint load-path)) and look through the list it brings up to see if .emacs.d is in your load-path?

OK that was enough to believe that while trying to get things working I must have screwed up the normal configuration.
I went through a clean installation, followed the steps in README.md and Catppuccin theme works perfectly.

I'm very sorry for the false alarm! But thank you very much for the prompt answer!
