I just installed emacs24 and I'm trying to get to the point where I can run clojurescriptone's repl from emacs so I'm guessing that I'll need this for emacs so that the repl will run when I put it into inferior-lisp mode as I saw in clojurescript one's video.

I'm very new at emacs, knowing a smidgen of the basics from the tutorial, so I've never installed a new mode.

I'm working on a Windows7 machine, if that means anything.

My first question (aside from the request for any corrections if you sense my trajectory is erroneous in terms of the goals I've stated in the above preface) is--

Since I know that package.el comes with emacs24 I tried the "M-x package-install clojure-mode" command and get a notice saying it doesn't exist. So I need to download it, I assume, but I've never done anything like this so I need to know how I do it. Specifically, of the files in the table above the read me section how do I go about downloading those, I mean do I place them in a text file, where relative to the emacs path do I place them and do I need to use any program to do it or do I just copy and paste into a text file?

A million thanks to anyone that can either point me to the answer or can step me through this. If I knew where to look for this answer I promise I wouldn't go through this and waste anyone's time but I'm at a loss and am finding that I move a lot faster and learn a lot faster and have an overall better experience when I'm more willing to ask what seem to have the potential to be dumb questions.
