Thank You for a response! I am new to computers, so please go easy!
I followed this:
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_installing_packages.html
file is located here:
/home/family281/.emacs.d/lisp/beancount.el
copied the beancount.el file off of the website, saved it, placed in the
above folder
Version: This is GNU Emacs 24.5.1
On opening Emacs (Copied from Emacs):
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/home/family281/.emacs.d/init.el':
Symbol's value as variable is void: completion-category-defaults
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
On opening my beancount file:

My init file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/family281/.emacs.d/lisp/")
(require 'beancount)
;; setup files ending in “.js” to open in js2-mode
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.beancount\\'" . beancount-mode))
So I hope you guys can help me!
I am also going to try Vim, have never used.
Thank You!
