I looks like your apt-get is not up to date. Try writing:

$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install git

Hey Aurelian,

Can you provide an error log? What OS are you using (OSX, Windows, Ubuntu, etc.)?

This is a common run-in if you're using Ubuntu.

HI,

I'm using the TreeHouse workspace, if you 'Watch Video' and launch the console.

I don't have any problem on my computer, but I want to follow the entire course on threehouse console just in case, since im still enw to this.
