Adding Git to Windows 7/8/8.1 Path
Note: You must have msysgit installed on your machine. Also, the path to my Git installation is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git". Yours might be different. Please check where yours is before continuing.
Open the Windows Environment Variables/Path Window.
Add the pwd to Git's binary and cmd at the end of the string like this:
;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\bin;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\cmd
Now test it out in PowerShell. Type git
and see if it recognizes the command.
Source: Adding Git to Windows 7 Path
Run the following command at your node.js command prompt where "<git path>" is the path to your git bin folder:
set PATH=%PATH%;<git path>;
So, like this:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;
Or this: (Notice the (x86) )
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;
This will add git to your path variables. Be sure you type it correctly or you could possibly delete your path vars which would be bad.
I had the same error in Windows. Adding git to the path fixed the issue.
G:\Dropbox\Development\xampp\htdocs.penfolds.git\penfolds-atg-development>bower install
bower bootstrap#~3.0.0 ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH
G:\>PATH
PATH=E:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\;
G:\Dropbox\Development\xampp\htdocs.penfolds.git\penfolds-atg-development>set PATH=%PATH%;E:\Program Files\Git\bin;
G:\Dropbox\Development\xampp\htdocs.penfolds.git\penfolds-atg-development>bower install
bower bootstrap#~3.0.0 not-cached git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git#~3.0.0
bower bootstrap#~3.0.0 resolve git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git#~3.0.0
I am also getting the same error and the solution is first to check if the Git is installed or not in the system and if not please install it.
After installation, open Git Bash or Git Shell from Windows and go to your project (same way you go in command prompt using "cd path"). Git Shell is installed by default with Github windows installation.
Then run the same bower install command. It will work as expected.
You are missing the ENVIRONMENT PATH. Follow these steps:
;%PROGRAMFILES%\Git\bin;%PROGRAMFILES%\Git\cmd
I also got the same problem from cmd and resolved using the following steps.
First install the https://msysgit.github.io/ (if not alredy installed). Then set the Git path as suggested by skinneejoe:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;
Or this (notice the (x86)):
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;
I solved the problem by install Git Bash from Download Git Bash.
Setting this option 3 when installing the software as shown bellow.
Finally select the project folder by right click using Bash as shown below.
and type
npm install
. It works for me.
