4 Installing Git

4.1 On Mac

You don’t have to install anything. Move on to next chapter.

4.2 On Windows

Go to the following webpage and download Git for Windows:

https://git-scm.com/

If and when you are new to Git, I suggest that you run the installer with default settings, i.e. don’t change any of the click buttons of the installer.

The installer installs, among other things:

  1. Git
  2. Git Bash - a command prompt that resembles a UNIX shell

In the next chapter, we will tell Git your name and email address.
