Installing Git

Git is a version control system, used to interact with code repositories. The LOCKSS Installer is available from GitHub, and you will need a Git client to download it.

Follow these instructions to install Git:

Run this command (as any user):
```
git --version
```
If the output is a version number (for example git version 2.31.1), Git is already installed; however if you see an error message (for example bash: git: command not found), follow the instructions corresponding to your operating system below to install Git as root [1]:
