INITIAL SETUP
[edit]
STEP 0 - Check your distro for specific details on:
1. installing development tools and libraries
2. examples for some distros:
Fedora Core 10: go to "System, Administration, Add/Remove Software" click on "Package collections" select "Development Libraries" and "Development Tools" click "Apply" The package manager would then download and install all relevant packages needed for software development.
Gentoo: Gentoo users should already have a working development setup to install git, all you need is to "emerge git"
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty: Ubuntu has a working development setup to install git, all you need is to "sudo apt-get install git-core"
