Error when running init.el

[KyleCotton]

Thanks for providing your config.

I'm getting an error when trying to install use-package.

I'm getting the following error, I've tried the package-refresh-contents which returned no error.

ERROR I'M GETTING:
progn: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, use-package

Do you have any suggestions I've been following your YouTube tutorials but have come very stuck with this issue. Thank you for any assistance.

Assuming your'e running a relatively new Emacs the only thing I can think of is that melpa hasn't been updated so you can't find use-package.

Assuming you're using my repo, the top of init.el up through the unless clause loads use-package from melpa.

You could try to manually refresh the package list using M-x package-refresh-contents

and then try installing use-package manually using M-x package-install then entering use-package and see what that does.

It says "package refresh done" but there are no additional packages when I list-packages.

Do you know what else could be causing this?

When I manually refresh the package it says packages updated, but when listing packages there are no additional packages, I’ve tried to manually look for use-package but it not there, even though the minibuffer says it updated the package list. Do you have any other suggestions.

Can't say. You might want to check out the use-package home page / github repo since that's what isn't installing and everything in my config uses use-package to instrall.
