Cannot find command 'git' - windows

I am trying to install mongodb_engine with my python django application, however I am getting this error 

Cannot find command 'git'

I am trying this command from mongodb documentation. http://django-mongodb-engine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/setup.html

pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/[email protected]

I believe git here is causing the problem since the project is stored in git repo. Is there a way to install git to run this pip command? I tried multiple sources but wasn't able to get it to work.

Solution

  • Download and Install git in your windows from here:

    https://git-scm.com/download/win

    Then add its installation bin path to your windows's environment path. Then you will find the git command at the command prompt globally.

    This may solve you problem.
