I installed compass, ruby, and git on my windows machine. However when I try to use the regular command prompt to create a new foundation project, it says that Git isn't installed. I used
foundation new c:\users\josh\desktop\my-project
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? There is a Git Bash/GUI available but I don't know how to use that yet...

Treehouse TeacherHi Josh Hicks,
Did you also install NodeJS, Bower, and the Foundation CLI? Not sure if you've seen this yet, but Zurb has helpful documentation on how to create a Compass project with the Foundation CLI.
Have you also tried doing it manually?
Hope this helps. :)

14,146 PointsHello,
I did install nodejs but not bower or the foundation CLI. Can I do all this from the regular Windows command line?
Thanks again.

14,146 PointsWhen I try to install bower in Git Bash with this command:
npm install -g bower
I get this:
"npm" command not found
I'm not sure why it's not working. I installed nodejs directly form the nodejs.org site and it still won't work. However when I check the version of git or compass it works. the "node" command is not found either. Any other ideas?
