title: installing GIT on EMR
body: <p>1) I have been told that git comes stock installed on EMR.  Is this true ? I believe not, as I can confirm that "git" is not found in my elastic-mapreduce ssh terminal.  See: <a href="https://raw.github.com/gist/3177009/6128554a2668367b72758be74885836e41898923/gistfile1.txt" rel="noreferrer">https://raw.github.com/gist/3177009/6128554a2668367b72758be74885836e41898923/gistfile1.txt</a> .</p>
  
  <p>2) I need to install git on EMR, but the following line :</p>
  
  <p>hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo apt-get install git --assume-yes</p>
  
  <p>Results in : </p>
  
  <p>hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo apt-get install git --assume-yes

  git is already the newest version.
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, however, git does not run on this EMR instance, even after issueing this command : </p>
  
  <p>hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ git
  -bash: git: command not found
  hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo git
  sudo: git: command not found</p>
