Installation and usage

The recommended way to install the Gruvbox theme is with NonGNU ELPA or MELPA. The version of gruvbox-theme there will always be up-to-date.

NonGNU ELPA

You can install Gruvbox from NonGNU ELPA. This archive is enabled by default in Emacs 28 or later, so just type M-x package-install <RET> gruvbox-theme.

MELPA

If you're an Emacs 25 user or you have a recent version of package.el you can install the Gruvbox theme from the MELPA repository.

Manual installation.

Manual installation, clone the repository and add it to your Emacs load-path and custom-theme-path.

Enable themes.

Emacs requires themes to be flagged as safe, use M-x load-theme to load and enable the gruvbox themes.
