Chances are, your Linux distribution already came with Git installed. In order to test that, open a terminal, type
```bash
git --version
```
and press enter. If the git version is shown, git obviously is already installed; otherwise, you will get a "command not found." In that case, install Git with the package management tool of your distribution. On Debian-based distribution such as Ubuntu, use
```bash
sudo apt-get install git-all
```
in Suse, use
```bash
sudo zypper install git-all
```
while on RHEL based distributions
```bash
sudo dnf install git-all
```
will do the job. Check git --version again to see that your install was successful. For more information, see the Git website: [https://git-scm.com/](https://git-scm.com/).
