Bower "Git not in the PATH" error
git, javascript, node.js
Solution
Install msysgit, as stated in the Bower documentation:
To use Bower on Windows, you must install msysgit correctly. Be sure to check the option shown below:
[ ] Use Git bash only
[x] Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt
[ ] Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt
After the installation has completed, restart CMD. You (and bower) will then be able to run `git` from the command prompt, which will fix your issue.
Problem
I just installed git and bower via NPM for a project. It's a first time use. Then I tried running `bower install jQuery` for example, I get this specific error: `ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH` Where can I actually define paths and how, and when we say PATHs, what's the main idea? Also, I really need help with some good resources for learning the concept behind this question or learning NPM usage in general. I'm using windows 7, 64-bit.
