# Mac Users:
- Make sure you have XCode installed. It's available in the App Store.
- If you are running something before OSX Mavericks, you may also need to install the **Command Line Tools**:
1. Start Xcode on the Mac.
2. Choose Preferences from the Xcode menu.
3. In the General panel, click Downloads.
4. On the Downloads window, choose the Components tab.
5. Click the Install button next to Command Line Tools. (if you do not see it there, it may already be installed)
6. You may need to restart your computer once it's complete to take affect.
- Open a terminal window, and install git, using this guide: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
# PC Users: work in progress
Most of the work is done for you if you install the Github for PC. Seriously great. Gives you access to the command line without
having to go through the pains of configuring it.
