installer package issues about git_osx_installer HOT 26 OPEN

Installing Xcode was the ticket. I did not understand that this Git app was reliant on Xcode. A few of us were confused on that one. thanks!

from git_osx_installer.

Xcode shouldn't be required; that's 95% of the point of this installer. I'll test out on a machine w/out Xcode installed and confirm.

To install the Command Line Tools, without installing Xcode:

Go to Xcode page: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

Scroll down to 'Additional Tools'

Click View Downloads

Select the Command Line Tools applicable to your OS

I am having troubles installing git. My mac is OSX 10.6

from git_osx_installer.

git is in my desktop, but when working in Terminal always says: "illegal instruction"

from git_osx_installer.

I had used the installer for git with Mavericks, I updated to Yosemite and now cannot find git. I also re-installed from the sourceforge image 4 times today. Not sure what is going on please help. Using this for Coursera class. Thanks.
PS I am a novice to all this git, github, and terminal work.

Hello, I'm also having a strange issue. Install worked fine, but when I checked the version in Terminal it says that git version is 1.9.3 not 2.2.1. I tried redownloading and reinstalling, but it made no difference. I'm also a newbie at this, so any help would be appreciated.

This issue title is not helpful.

@goopscoop - for your fix, see the README, specifically:

If you have XCode installed, and want to use a later git, running the following should help:

sudo mv /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git-xcode
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/git/bin/git /usr/bin/git

from git_osx_installer.

I had the same problem like goopscoop, but now I fixed with your sudo command. Thanks! But when I tried the second command-- sudo ln xxx, it indicated it is an illegal option, why is that? I am also very new to git and command line. Thank you for your help!

from git_osx_installer.

Can you copy the terminal output, including the command you invoked and the prompt, and put it in a gist / post it here with triple backticks surrounding it?

@timcharper When I enter the command (git --version) it comes back with (git version 1.9.5).
when I type in your sudo commands, the terminal prompts me with this:
"WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information."

Should I hit enter?

from git_osx_installer.

I've just installed Github and told it was successful. However, it is nowhere to be found on my iMac Os X 10.6.8. I'm very new to all this so I need very careful instructions on how to correct this. Please make no assumptions about what I know.

re-install if nothing works. Install Git here.

Hope it helps ;)

from git_osx_installer.

I'm sorry but it hasn't helped. Again I download and install but it does not appear as installed. “Tzedek, tzedek tirdof” (Deuternomy 16:20)

I'm adding the following with the hope that I get advice that works:
In attempting to download Github, Git 2.2.1 Mavericks Intel Universal is installed as a separate drive on my iMac 10.6.8. I double click on git-2.2.1-Intel-Universal-Mavericks.pkg, and follow the installation steps. Then I receive an alert that says "The installation is successful. The software was installed." However, I'm not able to locate the installed software, not even in the Git 2.2.1 Mavericks Intel Universal drive.

I welcome any advice that would help me find the installed software or successfully re-install.

I keep having this problem on 10.6.8 when trying to run git

from git_osx_installer.

https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/detail?name=git-1.8.4.2-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg

downloading this version worked for me.

from git_osx_installer.

Thank you, bakerbs. I tried it but got the same no-result as the first. I downloaded and installed and was told the installation was successful but could not find it in my application folder.

from git_osx_installer.

When you download github does it save on your mac as a drive?

Mine ssaved as a drive and not an application. In the drive are five files: a zipped git-2.2.1-intel-universal-mavericks.pkg; a READMEtxt; setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh; uninstall.sh; and VERSION-2.2.1-universal-mavericks.

However, there is no app in the file to read.

from git_osx_installer.

I'm having a read of the readme text but it does not make much sense to me. Howevet, from what it says, git may be installed on my mac.

What does it mean by "This installs git to /usr/local/git." Where is this location????

"Restart bash sessions", What is a bash session? How do I restart it?

"Run shell script". Again, I don't have a clue what this might mean.

Heeeeeellllpp!!!!

from git_osx_installer.

Clearly, I need someone to hold my hand and walk me thru. Anyone who can please do. I'll really appreciate it. My course started this week and I'm already way behind.

from git_osx_installer.

What does it mean by "This installs git to /usr/local/git." Where is this location????

... refer to last paragraph

"Restart bash sessions", What is a bash session? How do I restart it?

Quit terminal; re-open. Bash is the default shell environment for OS X that you see when opening your terminal; it's the program that takes input from your keyboard and runs the commands your type.

"Run shell script". Again, I don't have a clue what this might mean.

I apologize, but this level of tutorial is out of the scope reasonable to provide for the installer. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet to teach you how to use a shell.
