I am using ubuntu 10.04 for my desktop and Ubunt 10.04 server edition ofr my server.

the following commnad: 

sudo pip install -e git+http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git#egg=facebook

Works on my deskotp, but doesnt work on the server.

On the server, I received the following error message:

Obtaining facebook from git+http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git#egg=facebook
  Cloning http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git to ./src/facebook
Exception:

    raise BadCommand('Cannot find command %s' % self.name)
BadCommand: Cannot find command git

Storing complete log in ./pip-log.txt

May I know what am I missing? I have already installed pip, easy_install. What lese have I missed?

How to I get the command working?

Thank you!

It looks like you are missing git, the tool that is used to clone the repository:

BadCommand: Cannot find command git

Try installing git on your server:

sudo apt-get install git-core

  • For me, git was already installed under both su and my user accounts, but linux under su (sudo) was ignoring the /usr/local/bin dir for security. [Solution](http://stackoverflow.com/a/22078136/623735) was a symlink: `sudo ln -s $(which git) /bin/git`. – hobs Feb 27 '14 at 19:15

On Fedora, git and git-core packages were installed in /usr/local/bin, but my su wasn't looking there--security feature of our Linux distros, perhaps? A symlink from /bin, /usr/bin, to /usr/local/bin/git should do the trick. This worked for me:

sudo ln -s `which git` /bin/git

I had the same issue. Even though the git package was installed the first answer was correct. sudo apt-get install git-core solved the problem.
