Executing "yo famous" returns error (git not installed) --Mac OSX Mavericks

This isn't fixing the actual problem, but you could try installing git
with homebrew rather than using the apple os version

[mthwtkr]

Let me give that a shot. A work around right now would be okay.

[mthwtkr]

Attempted that work around with no success.

Started by renaming original git directory to git-org

• cd /usr/bin
• sudo mv git git-org

Installed git with homebrew and ran brew doctor with no errors.

Still have the same issue.

Now "git --version" returns

• git version 1.9.2

which git returns

• /usr/local/bin/git

My buddy sivehc had the same problem on his Apple. He ended up Googling enough to find that he had to choose the right option that sets the environmental variables when installing git. Due to the fact that I'm a MS user, I hope this helps.

[cnewmango]

This is verbatim from sivehc:
"The dangerous looking option with the red text. Choice number three. I'd have to install it again to get the details."

[mthwtkr]

Okay I will look into that solution further. The only thing I find odd is that git works as intended for everything else except famo.us.

[cnewmango]

I believe it is how it communicates with node,js and grunt.

[mthwtkr]

Alright I'm still not having any luck with this. I uninstalled and re-installed git. Only third option that I could find was to set up the environment variables. Which I had done before, but went ahead and stepped through that process again.

I opened up my ~/bash.profile and added this line "export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH"

• open ~/.bash_profile

After saving, I output the contents of ~/.bash_profile to double check it saved:

• cat ~/.bash_profile

To double check that it was actually using that .bash_profile I ran:

• source ~/.bash_profile

Finally I ran yo famous inside an empty directory (documents/famous/testApp), but still received the same error

• (ERROR) It looks like you do not have git installed, please install it and try again.

Any more suggestions ?

I don't have access to famo.us yet(hopefully soon) but I have had a problem like this when setting up node.js. During install something gets messed up in OSX with permissions of the folders and git can't see them. Check the sharing & permissions for (Me) to have read/write access to the famous folders. Hope this helps.

[mthwtkr]

Couldn't find anything wrong with the file permissions. Decided I'm getting tired of trying to find sensible solutions. So I opened up generator-famous/app/index.js file and commented out the pesky block of code throwing the error. Ran "yo famous" with out any issues so far. Going to leave this open for now to see if someone else comes up with a more elegant solution.

@Theshaft06 could you file an issue over at Famous/generator-famous

This is a super odd bug. I think it is most likely something going on with shell.js

I wrote a super simple repo that tests the lib call we are using

TheAlphaNerd/check-shell

Can you try running that and tell me the output you are getting? I suspect this might be a bug in shell.

[mthwtkr]

Ya, I realized I filed this in the wrong place. Doh! I'll do that now.

Also, the link for the script leads to a broken github link.
(EDIT) Never mind. The link isn't broken. It's just getting prepended with current url.

[ch4se]

open the git command prompt and type yo famous

[mthwtkr]

I'm fairly certain there is not a git command prompt in mac. I could download a git gui, but I don't believe this wouldn't solve the issue. Since I am able to access git from my terminal for everything else. Seems more to be an issue with shell.js

[ch4se]

Oh that's unfortunate, I was having the same issue as you on my windows PC and using the git command prompt worked it out for me. Anyways, good luck!

osx Definitely has git shell, in fact it's mentioned in the xcode docs.
