Hi @ianq. This wouldn't appear to be an issue with Canvas; the error is indicating that your computer can't connect to github.com. Are you able to run git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/amireh/grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs.git from the command line on the system where you're installing canvas?

I run into the same issue today when upgrading Canvas, and had to force git to use https:// rather than git://

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Hopefully this will solve your issue!

Actually this has solved the problem, but someone could tell me what is the "meaning" of this problem? thx

@mperu92 I believe it is because the git protocol has been deprecated.
