Installing Git

To install Git, I recommend installing the GitHub app from https://mac.github.com or https://windows.github.com. We can then simply go inside the app to Preferences and click on the Install Command Line Tools button inside the Advanced tab.

If we want to install Git manually and set it up via the command line, we can download the Git installer from http://git-scm.com and follow this great guide at https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git.

Now, we can check whether everything was installed successfully by opening the terminal and running the following command:

$ git

This should return us a list of Git options. If we get command not found: git, we need to check whether the git binary was correctly added to our PATH environment variable.

If everything is fine, we are ready to create our first Meteor app.
