How can I install Git to my server which does not have apt-get?

Question

My host is Bluehost. My server is on Linux.

I have tried to follow the tutorial.

Answer 1

If the machine doesn't have apt-get, then chances are it isn't a Debian or Ubuntu machine, which means that using a tutorial designed for Debian or Ubuntu is unlikely to get you very far.

Either use the packaged releases for whatever Linux distribution you are running, or build from source.

Answer 2

Get the source from http://git.or.cz/

Answer 3

You can quite easily compile it from source, with the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install commands.

See "How to install git". Specifically the Mac OS X section (which applies to Linux also)

Answer 4

Maybe you have the same problem I have that I cannot have an outgoing connection but I can have an incoming connection, that´s why I cannot use apt-get. What I do to move files is just use WinSCP and move the files there and after do whatever I want with them.
