ignite-maps was not able to be installed. Is it a valid NPM module?

[quyenbc]

Hey there! Ignite CLI seems to be having a problem, eh?

Welllllll, it just might be. First, search the issues to make sure it's not already
here, and if not head over to http://community.infinite.red to
get some help. If you've identified that it's really an Ignite CLI issue, then:

• Explain what's going on and preferably how to replicate the issue (bonus points for a repro app)
• Run ignite doctor and paste the result below, including the lines with 3 backticks
• Delete these instructions! We don't want to look at them. ;)

I tried to install ignite-maps with command: ignite add maps
and got this issue:

× ignite-maps was not able to be installed. Is it a valid NPM module?

Command failed: yarn add ignite-maps --dev
error Couldn't find the binary git

Please help me to resolve this.

Had the same issue. Was using 64-bit poweshell terminal on a Windows 10.
Stupid as this might sound, here is what worked for me
Switched to cmd.exe and it worked.

That's a good point!

And Not stupid at all. Different shells might have different environments. I know my PC does.

I can't seem to run node at all with Powershell, don't have git in cmd.exe. My path is borked on the Visual Studio command prompt, but the git shell seems to be a winner for me.

🤦‍♂️

That's why I only use it for gaming =)
