Have you tried sudo apt-get install git-all or even simply sudo apt-get install git? – Moult

@RudiVerago no, it says -bash: /usr/bin/git: No such file or directory – Paraphernalia

whereis git gives something? using dpkg -L git-core can you find executable? – Perfectly

@RudiVerago whereis git git: root@me:~# dpkg -L git-core Package `git-core' is not installed. Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. – Paraphernalia

ok git-core is not installed. sudo apt-get install git-core again – Perfectly

Answer 1

Just found in other source:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

This will install the latest stable git version. The Ubuntu's repository has the oldest one.

Answer 2

I wouldn't install the package from Ubuntu itself, the git version will be 1.7.0.4

I recommend using my PPA as you will get the latest version, as I write this it would 1.7.11.1

To add my Ubuntu git repository to your system

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdoes/ppa

And then you can do sudo apt-get install git-core

Peter - thanks for your efforts - at the moment, it appears that your site no longer supports Ubuntu 10.04. – Villa

Answer 3

I was getting error of the

sudo apt-get install git-core: command not found

After adding repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdoes/ppa

then run this command which was still giving me same result.

sudo apt-get install git-core

But this command done all of things for me

sudo apt-get install git-all
