Adding Melpa to Emacs on Windows

I was new to Emacs and I thought to Install JDEE. So for Installing JDEE and I need Melpa. Melpa is a repo with more packages for Emacs. I checked in melpa site it was telling to insert a text into emacs init.el. As mine was a fresh Installation and Emacs file was not added and I was using Windows.

Adding to this I searched and got to know it will be in home but as I was using windows I don’t know where it was.

After a search for a long time I came to see in Youtube and below is the steps to add melpa

  1. Hit M-x customize-group and hit Enter
  2. Emacs will prompt for Customize group (default emacs):
  3. Enter package and hit Enter
  4. Select Package Archives and click on INS
  5. Now add the Archive name : melpa, URL or directory name: https://melpa.org/packages/ and click on Apply and Save
