Problem while initializing the repo

While initializing the repo to download Android Source Code using the following command -

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

I'm getting开发者_Python百科 the following error -

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pritamn/bin/repo", line 603, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/home/pritamn/bin/repo", line 570, in main

_CheckGitVersion()

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1201, in _execute_child
raise child_exception

Can anybody please help me in pin-pointing the exact cause of this error?

You must have git installed for that command to work

Do you have git installed? Make sure it's installed by typing "git" on the command line.

Running on Win7 64bit I had to add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin" to my PATH in order for this to work.

I had this happen to me, you need to apt-get remove git-core and re-install it using apt-get install git-core.
