Installation Problems on Mac OS Sierra Version 10.12.2

Open nishigupta12 opened this issue 8 years ago • 11 comments

I have a MacBook Pro which has Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.2 . I downloaded git from the web site and I had to remove my security controls because it was not from a known developer. It said it downloaded to usr/local/git but the icon doesn't show up any where. And I can't see the subdirectory when I use terminal command. What can I do? I need this for an on-line data science class.

when you double click the pkg file that is when the error was given? That is a normal behaviour of Apple's new security system (introduced in 10.10 I believe). You can right click the pkg file and click open. This will present you with the same error box BUT with the option to continue the execution.

@imranzahid01 I'm having the same trouble and the error message I'm receiving reads:

**Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.

“git-2.10.1-intel-universal-mavericks.pkg” is on the disk image “git-2.10.1-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg”. Google Chrome downloaded this disk image today at 8:55 PM from sourceforge.net.**

I've gone through my settings>privacy & security to approve installation twice and still nothing. What am I missing? Thanks - Marsh

@marshcooke you said you have gone through privacy & security, but let me list my steps anyway (maybe they are different than yours)

In the Security & Privacy there is a General tab, and at the bottom section is "Allow apps downloaded from:" section. Try setting the option to "Anywhere" and then double click the installer to see if it works.

Alternatively can you right click the installer and click open, does that allow you to proceed?

I honestly can't tell you combination of attempts got it to finally worked, except that I walked away from it last night and restarted my machine today and it's working. Thanks for your suggestion!

@mariaaguerre have you found any solution yet? I had to install XCode command line on my system from that I was able to get git which printed this on version check git version 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98), even though I had git-2.15.1 installed earlier and after XCode installation.

Hi, I downloaded git for mac OS X from https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/ It downloaded fine and I installed it through the installer. However, I cannot find the application anywhere on my PC and if I search for it only the folder with the installer comes up.

Can someone help me figure this out please? I am trying to use git for an online data science lecture.

Thanks!

@dpatinoh by default, OSX has git installed. U need to install XCODE support (not whole app). thats it
