If it fails for you check full installation instructions. Besides, you are talking about init.el
file which makes me conclude that you already know a bit about Emacs. So you should know what to do with .emacs.d
:)
Thanks for the quick response. I see. Perhaps it'd have been more clear to me when I read very early in the docs (for new users) that this is intended as a full replacement for emacs (it is?) -- and not just another emacs lisp package, to be installed alongside.
PR welcome (read CONTRIBUTING.org first ;-) )

I had the same issue today
@harishvishwakarma The develop
branch readme quick install instructions:
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop
describes how to avoid this issue:
This assumes you don't have an existing Emacs setup and want to run Spacemacs as your config. If you do have one, look at the full installation instructions for other options.
The master branch readme will be updated when next version is released.
README says:
which gives
Then what? I can clone to someplace else and move some of the subdirs (from browsing init.el, at least core/ is needed) but that does not look right - spacemacs then sits in .emacs.d/core/ ? This path should be one level deeper, and contain the "spacemacs" name?
