Mac command line question (Terminal)

samifan24 · 06-03-2012, 08:41 PM

Hey guys,

I'm a relative newbie when it comes to using Terminal on my Mac. I'd like to install a plugin for the app launcher Alfred but can only do so through Terminal. Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I'm following the directions: Alfred, Remember the Milk

Here's step one:

Quote:

This is a handy command line Remember the Milk utility. Install as follows, from the command line:

git clone tpope/rumember Â· GitHub
cd rumember
sudo gem build rumember.gemspec
sudo gem install rumember-1.0.0.gem

I type that into terminal exactly as its written but I receive a "git: command not found" error after I type the first line and hit enter. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you guys can provide.

I'd say try downloading the repository as a zip, unzip it to a folder and then cd to that folder and try doing the sudo commands.

It's simpler than that. You need to install git.

Set Up Git · github:help

edit: Sorry, DanGarion is absolutely right, you can just download the zip instead of installing git.

I downloaded the zip folder but am not sure what to do now. Sorry, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Terminal.
