Put this in your ".emacs" -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'flycheck)
(global-flycheck-mode 1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That will make it work in every buffer with whatever document/text
you’re working with.

Look right down at the bottom of the package list and you should
see it like here -
╭────
│ flycheck 20140422.657 unsigned On-the-fly syntax checking (Flymake done
right)
╰────
If you're unsure about it try doing *C-s flycheck* in the package
list, then it will search for it, and find all instances of
'flycheck', and if you keep pressing *C-s* it will work through all
it finds until you find the one that you are looking for. Sounds
long-winded but it works.
