Step 1 — Install Git

Open any terminal and check if you already have Git installed by typing:

git --version

If you are getting back an error message, you need to install Git. I would anyway recommend installing/updating Git anyway.

Git is not present on the system yet.

Go ahead and open https://git-scm.com/. The latest version I see is 2.30.0.

Now open the installer you have downloaded and go through the installation process. Unless you know what you are doing, leave all settings to their defaults.

License Information

You need to accept the GNU GPL open source license to continue.
