Rails - Nov 2008 - Installing from Git with current Rails version

Hi,-

I''m trying without success to install a plugin from Git using the
command:

$ script/plugin install http://github.com/pyrat/wee_lightbox.git

What I get is:

removing: /Users/vahagn/myapp/vendor/plugins/wee_lightbox/.git
sh: git: command not found

Then I checked this page:
http://github.com/blog/25-git-support-for-rails-plugins

And it says this is only possible using Edge Rails. Does anyone know if
this still holds true, or maybe my mistake lies elsewhere?

Rails version: 2.1.1

Thanks!

/ Vahagn

It''s just telling you that you don''t have git installed.
Install git
from http://git.or.cz/ and all should be well.

Hi Peter,-

I had actually installed Git using this package:
http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/

but maybe it is not the newest version?

Best regards,
Vahagn

Then it might just be that /usr/local/git is not in your path.

In the terminal, do:
which git

If git can be found, it will say something like: /usr/local/git/bin/git
If nothing is returned, it doesn''t find the git application. If so,  
add this to your ~/.bash_login file (if it doesn''t exist, create it):

PATH="/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/git:${PATH}"
export PATH

Then close the terminal session and start a new one.

Best regards

Peter De Berdt

Sorry, but something seems to be wrong here. I''ve added the path, so
now
I have:

$ cat .bash_login
PATH="/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/git:${PATH}"
export PATH

Also git is there:

$ ls /usr/local/git/bin/
git      git-shell    gitk
git-cvsserver    git-upload-archive
git-receive-pack  git-upload-pack

But $ which git just gives a blank new line! I''ve tried restarting the 
Mac, but nothing.

Really mystified here, any help help appreciated!

What does echo $PATH
output?
Personally I can never remember the difference  
between .bash_login, .bash_profile, .bash_rc etc...
In 10.5 at least there is another mechanism:
if you create a file in /etc/paths.d containing the path you want then  
that will be added to the search list.

Issue resolved! One must configure Git BEFORE sudo make install:

Hi Fred, seems like our comments have crossed each other. Still in the 
high name of knowledge sharing here''s the answer:

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin
$ which git
/usr/local/bin/git

Thanks for the tip with /etc/paths.d. I was initially also taken aback 
by the ~/.bash_login file, because on my machine there''s a file at root
level named #.bash_profile# . When I cat this file, nothing comes out of 
it. Yet when I open it in a text program the contents are the same as in 
the (hidden!) ~/.bash_login file! What most strange is when I do a ls -a 
BOTH these files are displayed:

#.bash_login#
.
..
.CFUserTextEncoding
.DS_Store
.Trash
.Xauthority
.Xcode
.bash_history
.bash_login
.bash_profile
.csh_history
.
.
.
etc

Must be Leopard''s way of telling you that this file is important 
somehow. Strange, as it looks like information duplication.
