Launching magit within emacs

English Applications

I’m struggling to get Magit (an Emacs git frontend) to work. Both Magit and Emacs have been installed through Yast.
The Magit manual say to run

M-x magit-status

. Unfortunately Emacs does not recognise this command, so I’m wondering if it is somehow not finding the Magit installation. Has anyone encountered this before?

I managed to fix the issue! Adding

(require 'magit)

to ~/.gnu-emacs-custom did the trick.
