Can't able to install ot.js library from github

Question

I am learning to build a real time code editor with the help of nodejs but the issue with that is while I am trying to install ot.js library from github

(Edit) The log file's data is down below:

`npm` and `git` are two different things. If you're trying to clone the repo you need to use `git clone https://github.com/Operational-Transformation/ot.js.git` if you need to install [the packge](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ot) you need to run `npm i -S ot` — Reyno, Jul 22 '21 at 07:02
Hi Reyno, why am I not able to install a package like this "git+{url}.git"? — ARCHIT, Jul 22 '21 at 10:01
As per this discussion (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17509669/how-to-install-an-npm-package-from-github-directly). We can install like this but I am facing an issue mentioned above using this command. — ARCHIT, Jul 22 '21 at 10:14
Do you actually have Git installed and on your `PATH`? That's a typical error when trying to spawn a program which can't be found. — Kelvin Schoofs, Jul 22 '21 at 12:09
