Where to put .emacs file in Carbon Emacs?

I'm new to Emacs if you can't tell. Right now I am using Carbon Emacs on Mac OSX. I would like to customize the layout and whatnot but I have no idea where I can find or make a new .emacs file in order to do so.

Thanks for the help.

Solution

  • I put mine in my home directory (i.e. the usual place for unix installations of emacs) and it works fine:

    $ ls -lh /Users/dmckee/.emacs
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmckee staff 11K Aug  4 09:28 /Users/dmckee/.emacs
