CS 101 - Download and install Git
On Windows (only need to do this once):
Simply download and install Git from their website.
On Mac OS X (only need to do this once):
- Open a command terminal. You can find it by clicking the Launchpad (that multicolor chip in the Dock), any typing
terminal
in the search field.
- Once you are in the termal (a black window with white text), paste the following command and hit enter:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
- The install will probably take a good 5 minutes. Once it is done, it will suggest a command to put homebrew in your default path. Copy and paste that command on that same terminal window. When you hit enter, check that it didn't give any error message.
- Still at the command terminal, type in the following command:
brew install git
- ...or if you missed that part where you add brew to your path, you can try this:
/usr/local/bin/brew install git
- This install should go quite a bit quicker. Assuming there are no error messages, you can go ahead and quit the command terminal.
