You need to copy all of them in a directory in you load-path (say /home/anoop/.emacs.d/site-lisp/magit, but you can put them directly into /home/anoop/.emacs.d/site-lisp/, the problem with the latter is that if you install several emacs package, it will be a mess to deinstall one of them). Then you have to be sure that this directory is in your load path. Add (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/anoop/.emacs.d/site-lisp/magit") (require 'magit) to your load-path. (notice that there is only one ', there is nothing after magit in the require line). > put (require 'magit' ) in my .emacs will it work ?. Yes. Well you have to verify that -- Rémi Vanicat
