Solving “Fatal: Not A Git Repository” (Or Any Of The Parent Directories) Error

Thank you!

Hi Zen,
The best place to ask for this type of technical support is on the EPrints Tech List – details are listed here: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Eprints-tech_Mailing_List

 

But I will try and help you here anyway 😊

 

If you following these instructions: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Installing_EPrints_on_RHEL/Fedora/CentOS#Installing_EPrints_3.4.x_from_Source – or the Debian/Ubuntu equivalent, I guess you have got stuck on this part:

yum install git

mkdir /opt/eprints3/

chown eprints:eprints /opt/eprints3/

chmod 2775 /opt/eprints3/

su eprints

git clone https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4.git /opt/eprints3

git checkout tags/v3.4.5

After the ‘su eprints’ command, change the directory you are in, to the one you are about to clone the git repository into:

 

...

su eprints

cd /opt/eprints3/

git clone https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4.git /opt/eprints3

git checkout tags/v3.4.5

 

Please let me know if this helps or not.

 

Cheers,

John
