Linux

Git should be available via your package manager, usually called 'git-core'. We'll also be using a GUI tool called gitk, which you may need to install from a separate 'gitk' package.

Try to make sure you have at least version 1.7.

Mac OS X

A graphical installer for Git is available.

MacPorts has it as 'git-core', and Homebrew has it as 'git'.

Windows

msysgit is a graphical installer for Git on Windows which comes with all the necessary UNIXy dependencies Git needs.
