Hello,
Pretty overwhelmed with all this dev stuff but i want to try and crack it due to new downtime…
I am trying to install the starter kit as it seems like a good place to start. However i am running into the below problem. I have tried resolving/ looking for similar bafoons that have had the same issue for the last 3 hours but I am very stuck. The issue clearly is in front of the keyboard but if anybody could help that would be grand.
running this on ubunutu
node -v
v13.11.0
npm -v
6.14.3
sudo npm install --global @openzeppelin/cli

Hi @waving_from_heights,
Welcome to the community 
Glad that you are getting to try Solidity development.
Everyone was new once and not that long ago (What are your top three recommendations for a new developer in the space?)
A great way to track your progress is to keep a record of it. You could do your own version of in the forum: My Coding Journey: Beginner to Pro
From your error, it looks like you don’t have Git installed
https://git-scm.com/download/linux
I would also suggest looking to change your node version. I use node 10 daily and node 12 should work too. Using node 13 you may run into issues with ecosystem support.
You may want to look at using nvm for this to easily change node versions.
Hi @waving_from_heights,
I wanted to check if you were able to resolve?
Hi @abcoathup,
Thanks for the welcome and help.
No luck at all. I’m trying to resolve but every time i do i run into more issues. This is more of a new to linux and coding thing really as i’m having all kinds of issues with npm, i fix one and then get another.
My current issue is below. At a bit of a loss to be honest. This all feels way beyond me.

Hi @abcoathup,
Don’t worry I’m not giving up though!
I want to start from scratch again with regards to the packages i’ve downloaded. I’ll look into doing that next i reckon and build up from there. Now to learn how to do that…!
OK So I got the starter kit to work 
Still getting a lot of the above errors however for whatever reason it now functions
I reinstalled Node.JS and NPM multiple times using different versions to no effect. However just now the LTS version of Node.JS worked. I’ve done nothing differently just to previsous installations, it just worked. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Anyway I’m looking forward to getting starterd with my OZ journey got quite a few projects I want to work on!
