Answer 1

Make sure you installed Git with the second or third option selected from the list. It will penetrate the Git command to cmd by modifying PATH automatically ;)

Answer 2

When you ran the git install, you probably didn't choose:

"Use Git from the Windows Command Prompts"

during the installation.

Re-run git install, and choose that option.

Answer 3

In Linux:

if you dont have installed git use:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

with command which git you will know the directory where is and then add in path if it is not in that enviroment variable.

Answer 4

Just use the Git Bash instead of cmd.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.
