Issue on git repository

Hello
I am very new to this platform. I am trying to use salesforce mobile SDK for android.

This is what I did:

Step 1: i downloaded Salesforce Mobile SDK in to my local drive

Step 2: After downloading i run the install .vbs command (Windows)

Step3: I got an windows alert like

This is the error i am getting "Make sure git excutable is on your path variable".

How to resolve this?

When you say "downloading" do you mean you downloaded the .zip file from GitHub? If so, you need to actually use Git to pull down the SDK.

The confusing thing here is that your #1 doesn't make much sense. You both downloaded the .zip _and_ cloned the git repository? You only need to clone the git repository. The error you're getting is that Git is not being found on your computer. I don't have a Windows machine, so I'm not 100% sure of the setup processes on Windows, but how did you install Git? Did you use the installers here? http://msysgit.github.com/

 

If it's installed correctly, you should be able to go to your Windows Command Line, and type something like:

 

git --version

 

which should tell you something along the lines of:

 

git version 1.7.5.4

Can you help me?

Have you made sure git is on your system path?

How can I do that?

Go to Windows CMD and try to run the git command

When I went to Windows CMD and typed the Git command, I get the error.

I found a link that explain about the git system variables, so I modified the PATCH variable and it's working fine.

 

Thank you.
