$ export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/path/to/git/bin/directory

or create a build.properties file with the following contents:

sdk.dir=/path/to/appengine/sdk
git.dir=/path/to/git/bin/directory

initialize the library dependencies:

$ ant init

start the dev server:

$ ant runserver

and browse to http://localhost:8080/
