If the `~/.emacs` file is present, it takes precedence over `init.el`, causing Emacs to ignore the `init.el` and/or `early-init.el` in the `~/.emacs.d/` directory or any directory specified with the `--init-directory` Emacs command-line argument. This behavior is due to the way Emacs searches for initialization files. **Simply delete the `~/.emacs` avoid this issue.** ### Installation into ~/.emacs.d
