Bower gives an error git is not installed or not in the PATH, how to configure?

Question

gulp.js

I installed git myself. Bower installed both globally and locally.
I found instructions here on how to change some paths ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20666989/bower... ), but I'm not sure if it's worth changing something there.

Answer 1

There, the default checkbox is, as I understand it, but it is called a little differently.
I just did not go through git, but through the usual command line.

Answer 2

If you do not have git and git bash, then download it from the official site git-scm.com
If you are a windows user, do not forget to set the radio button to "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" during installation. This way, git will automatically be added to your PATH, which will save you a lot of effort and frustration in the future.

Answer 3

Add the desired folder to PATH manually.
In Windows 8.1, this is through the "Control Panel" (or RMB on the "Start" button) - "System" - "Advanced system settings" - the "Advanced" tab (active by default) - "Environment Variables ..." (button at the bottom) add to the Path list

;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\bin;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\cmd

and restart your computer.
So you found the correct instruction)

Answer 4

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;
