Install Git
Overview
Cytoscape repositories are hosted at GitHub. App developers need to install git in order to check out Cytoscape source code.
Process
Windows
Download the Windows version of Git and install it.
This will install a "Git Bash Shell", among other things. Use this to run Git commands - use Unix commands rather than the DOS commands used in a typical Windows command shell.
Mac
Start at GitHub
Download and install GitHub.app
Launch GitHub.app and start the configuration wizard:
Enter your GitHub account info
Click on Install Command Line Tools
- Open Terminal and type "git"
If you are prompted to install Xcode, click Install to continue
- In Terminal, test the installation by typing "git" again
Finish the GitHub.app wizard
Linux
- Check if git is already installed on your computer by typing "git --version"
- If git is not installed yet, install it with command (on Ubuntu) "apt-get install git"
