That depends. If you just want to use it "once" (i.e. in the current
session), just paste it in some throwaway buffer (e.g. *scratch*) and
execute the code by placing point at its end and typing C-x C-e (aka
CTRL-x CTRL-e). If you want to have it permanently available, you can
put it in your .emacs, yes.
