Move back to the terminal and check if Git is already installed. Type in `git version` and press enter. You can skip this section if this command returned a version number. Otherwise [download](https://git-scm.com/downloads) the lastest version of Git and follow this excellent [installation guide](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).
