eclipse Orion ReferenceError: require is not defined

Question

There's an editor eclipse Orion that allows for editing source codes in various languages in a web browser. An instruction says the editor can be set up through these few lines of HTML code.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://eclipse.org/orion/editor/releases/4.0/built-editor.css"/>
<script src="http://eclipse.org/orion/editor/releases/4.0/built-editor.min.js"></script>
<script>
/*global require*/
require(["orion/editor/edit"], function(edit) {
    edit({className: "editor"});
});
</script>

I pasted these lines into an editor, adapted the paths of the included .css and .js files and called the page in a web browser. It results in the error Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined.

There's an alternative instruction that says to include the -amd version of the eclipse Orion JS files and to also include a certain require.js JS file. Am I missing something or is the instruction missing the hint to always include require.js to provide the require function?

The instruction is a few years old. I'm using recent Orion build 14.3. Has something changed over the years? Has the require function been provided once in an earlier build?

Yes, requirejs needs to be included, for example with

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.3.5/require.js></script>

If you installed requirejs with bower you might want to use something like

<script src="./bower_components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
