Git Installation: Linux

Kyle Clemens edited this page May 24, 2014 · 1 revision

This page assumes you have a Debian-based distribution. If not, the command apt-get should be replaced with your package manager. If you have aptitude installed, please use that instead of apt-get.

Install Git

Run the following command with root privileges: apt-get install git

Verify that Git is installed

Check to ensure that git has been installed and that there are no errors.

git --version

If you see git version X.X.X.X, you should be all set to go!

If you have any questions (about the contest, git, Maven etc), please don't hesitate to send us a tweet @tenjava or ask in our IRC channel.
