Hi @towanimaria,

It seems git is not installed and as such you’ll need to install it.

If you are on a CentOS OS, you can use

yum install git

If it’s Ubuntu, use

apt install git

That’s it, you should be good to go.

Thank you! That worked! Do I need to install git for each new instance or is it relater to the key?

  Hi @towanimaria,
  
  I’m happy it worked, I think you would need to install it for every instance.
