<h3>Customizations</h3>
<p>
There is currently no way in <code>package.el</code> to
exclude or include versions. So to remedy this there is
a <code>melpa.el</code> package (available in MELPA) that will
allow you to enable only certain packages or exclude certain
packages. You can install the package manually by pasting this
into your <code>*scratch*</code> buffer and evaluating it.
What if you only want some of your packages to be installed
from MELPA, and the rest from Marmalade or elsewhere?
</p>
<p>
Only in the very latest Emacs snapshots is there a way to
exclude or include versions according to their source
(see <code>package-pinned-packages</code>). For all other
users, we provide a <code>melpa.el</code> package (available
in MELPA) that will allow you to enable only certain packages
or exclude certain packages.
You can install the package
manually by pasting this into your <code>*scratch*</code>
buffer and evaluating it.

<pre><code>(progn
(switch-to-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"https://raw.github.com/milkypostman/melpa/master/melpa.el"))
(package-install-from-buffer (package-buffer-info) 'single))</code></pre>
<p>You can then customize two variables:</p>
