Sure this can be done. Restarting is less confusing for people new to Emacs
You need to add following lines in your ~/.emacs
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("marmalade" . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")))
1. Now restart Emacs
2. M-x(Press Alt+x), and type 'list-packages'
This should list all the packages
3. Search package using Ctrl+s
4. Click the package from the list you wish to install, this should open another buffer showing package details.
5. Click 'Install' button and say 'Yes' to install the package.
