Can anyone please help me?

WatermelonIce · October 6, 2020, 2:53pm

This is not extension template. Please ask it elsewhere.

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:01pm

Who said this is extension template? I am using app inventor source.

MohamedTamer · October 6, 2020, 3:05pm

This topic is about the extension template and not the app inventor sources.

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:05pm

Then where should I ask?

ewpatton · October 6, 2020, 3:07pm

The relevant part of the error message is:

Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git"

You need to be running the build from a shell where git is available. On Windows, use the Windows Subsystem for Linux or git-bash.

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:10pm

Should I need to download this?

ewpatton · October 6, 2020, 3:10pm

If you don't have Windows 10, then yes. git-bash will be faster in that case.

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:11pm

Yes, I have windows 10, what should I do to fix this problem?

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:21pm

I have installed git, what are the steps to follow now?

Kumaraswamy · October 6, 2020, 3:25pm

Thanks! It's compiling now!
