Command that works in local comuter, but doesnt work in server?

Question

Hi all, I am using ubuntu 10.04 for my desktop and Ubunt 10.04 server edition ofr my server.

the following commnad:

sudo pip install -e git+http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git#egg=facebook

Works on my deskotp, but doesnt work on the server.

On the server, I received the following error message:

Obtaining facebook from git+http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git#egg=facebook
  Cloning http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git to ./src/facebook
Exception:

    raise BadCommand('Cannot find command %s' % self.name)
BadCommand: Cannot find command git

Storing complete log in ./pip-log.txt

May I know what am I missing? I have already installed pip, easy_install. What lese have I missed?

How to I get the command working?

Thank you!

It looks like you are missing git, the tool that is used to clone the repository:

BadCommand: Cannot find command git

Try installing git on your server:

sudo apt-get install git-core
