I am trying to install mongodb_engine with my python django application, however I am getting this error 

Cannot find command 'git'

I am trying this command from mongodb documentation. http://django-mongodb-engine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/setup.html

pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django@nonrel-1.5

I believe git here is causing the problem since the project is stored in git repo. Is there a way to install git to run this pip command? I tried multiple sources but wasn't able to get it to work.

  • I am facing the same problem. Were you able to resolve it? Did you install 'git' ? Where did you install it from? Can you please tell me the whole thing you did. Thanks a lot. – user3664020 May 09 '15 at 05:53

If your using Anacoda, then you can try this

Download and Install git in your windows from here:

https://git-scm.com/download/win

Then add its installation bin path to your windows's environment path. Then you will find the git command at the command prompt globally.

This may solve you problem.

Add the path of git.exe to your windows environment variable called 'path'. My git.exe is in the path of 'C:\Users\LW\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_c2ba306e536fdf878271f7fe636a147ff37326ad\bin\git.exe'. Your can find your exe file in the similar folder path.

You can install git and configure the path with the git directory in System variables path.
