You may create the init.el or .emacs file may be created in your
Linux home directory or .emacs.d directory. Emacs automatically
searches for the init.el or .emacs file in these directories.
I have the following added to my init.el file, you may refer this
to enable beancount-mode in Emacs
;; beancount setup
;; I cloned the beancount-mode repository to ~/repo/beancount-mode directory
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/repo/beancount-mode/")
(require 'beancount)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.beancount\\'" . beancount-mode))
;; beancount outline-minor-mode - enables folding of lines starting with *
or ;;;
(add-hook 'beancount-mode-hook #'outline-minor-mode)
(add-hook 'beancount-mode-hook #'linum-on)
(add-hook 'beancount-mode-hook #'column-number-mode)
(define-key beancount-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-n")
#'outline-next-visible-heading)
(define-key beancount-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-p")
#'outline-previous-visible-heading)
(defun my-enable-beancount-electric-indent
(setq-local electric-indent-chars t))
