so I'm trying to install a repo (manteras) but this comes up

fatal: 'git' is not available
fatal: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Please make sure git is installed and in your path.

is there a way to fix this?

That's an odd one, my friend. :P


I would make sure that your bin folder is set up properly, and defined in your path, (use google)

When I first dove into this project (back in January 2012) I tried building on OSX and realized it's to much of a pain. It can be done though. The questions I asked myself is would I rather spend my timing troubleshooting the environment, or just format and reload my Apple laptop with Ubuntu?

Like I said it can be done, however after spending 2-3 hours messing with it and not getting it to work I finally installed Ubuntu and was rocking and rolling in less than 20 minutes. Soon after I sold the laptop and just bought a used powerful workstation which is what I am using these days. OSX is great and can be used, however I recommend sticking with Ubuntu as that is what Google also recommends.

However Google also offers OSX instructions. You may want to try those and see if that gets you to the point of downloading instead of using the CM7. Once your environment is setup you can download what every repo you want accept Froyo based ones, as they require and older version of the JDK
