git-lfs instructions don't work on my OS

[alexellis]

The git-lfs instructions don't work on my OS:

Are there further instructions and/or testing required? Is there an assumed base-OS which isn't being communicated in the README?

Tested the instructions on Ubuntu 18.04 and Arch Linux with the same error:

[alex@nuc boots]$ uname -a
Linux nuc 5.5.13-arch2-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon, 30 Mar 2020 20:42:41 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[alex@nuc boots]$ git lfs install
git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
	log
[alex@nuc boots]$ git lfs pull
git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
	log
[alex@nuc boots]$ git version
git version 2.26.0
[alex@nuc boots]$

For reference I was able to handle this with an apt-get install git-lfs before proceeding with the rest of the instructions.

There is a wiki here https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Installation with details, including some gory details for build from scratch.

Seems I've created two issues somehow.

Closing this issue, as it has been already addressed in issue #12.

@gauravgahlot whilst the link is better, the instructions are still a little on the ambiguous side.

May I suggest changing to:

# Install "git-lfs" package for your OS, i.e.:  apt-get install git-lf
# Then run these two commands:

git lfs install
git pull install

@gauravgahlot my bad, this wasn't a duplicate, it was separate to clarify the instructions. The other was to fix the link to be more helpful for Linux users.

@alexellis Actually git-lfs won't be even required for the setup and we will be removing this from document as well once our testing will be completed.
