Not able to install npm install react-native-gesture-handler

Question

I am trying to use React Native Navigation 5. I have added all the dependency but when i am adding

npm install react-native-gesture-handler it is giving the below error:

npm ERR! code ENOENT      
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! enoent Error while executing:
npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t https://github.com/naver/hammer.js.git
npm ERR! enoent 
npm ERR! enoent 
npm ERR! enoent spawn git ENOENT
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

Then i followed the below solution and downloaded the Github, save the path in System Variable but it did not work. Please suggest what wrong i am doing.

This link helped me to get out of this issue: Here's a link

In short Download Git then follow the below steps:

Open Environment Variables
Edit Path
Find your git location that been installed in your device. Example like mine is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
Add the git location to Path (make sure to add this to both user variables and system variables)
Apply the changes and restart your pc
Lastly, go back to your project and run npm install react-native-gesture-handler

This looks like a permission error. Please run your command line as a Administrator.
