The Emacs manual tells you:
This file, if it exists, specifies how to initialize Emacs for you.
Emacs looks for your init file using the filenames `~/.emacs', `~/.emacs.el',
or `~/.emacs.d/init.el'; you can choose to use any one of these three
names. Here, `~/' stands for your home directory.
Most people use ~/.emacs
, I think. Just do C-x C-f ~/.emacs
to create it if you do not yet have one.
