Hey @mahinthan177,

Are you sure that Git has been installed correctly? After doing some searching around, seems like a git reinstall following the steps @https://gitforwindows.org/ would be your best bet.

Let me know if that ends up working!

Holla @mahinthan177,
From the log it looks like you don’t have git on your PC. Follow @charliecruzan guide. Hope this helps :grin:
