can't install on OS X

[Spencer Graves]

What's the procedure for installing Git under OS X 10.11?


I downloaded "git-2.5.3-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg" per 
instructions.  When I tried to install it, I first had trouble because 
it wasn't from the Mac App Store nor an "identified developer".  I 
ultimately found "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy" > "Click 
the lock to make changes" > entered password > AND clicked to "Allow 
apps downloaded from: Anywhere".  Then the install appeared to run and  
proclaimed, "The installation was successful."  However, git is not 
listed under "Applications", and RStudio says, "Git was not detected on 
the system path."


"README.txt" says I need "sudo mv /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git-system".  I 
tried that and got, "mv: rename /usr/bin/git to /usr/bin/git-system: 
Operation not permitted" (after entering my password).  [My directory 
now includes "/usr/local/git", and "/usr/bin" includes git, 
git-cvsserver, git-receive-pack, git-shell, git-upload-archive, and 
git-upload-pack.]


Suggestions?  Thanks, Spencer Graves

Looks like you have it installed properly.  The typical usage is from
the terminal, (try `git --version` to be sure).  There is also a
pretty great UI packaged with git called git-gui.  You should be able
to make a link or an alias to it in your Applications folder (or
invoke it from the terminal `git gui`).

You can also right click on the installer and select "Open" for a very similar dialog, but one that gives you the opportunity to run the installer anyway.

Sounds like you're running afoul of El Capitan's new System Integrity Protection (SIP) [1].  The git commands you're seeing there are probably Apple's thin wrappers that are mostly meant to provide instructions on installing XCode, but SIP is stopping you from modifying the /usr directory (ah, Apple's Infinite Wisdom).  There are discussions about working around SIP in the Apple forums [2] and Homebrew has some hints as well [3].

Thanks.  That helped.  I will summarize here what seemed to work for me 
(skipping the wailing, gnashing of teeth, Apple tech support, etc.):


[step 1] download and install "git-2.5.3-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg" 
as normal, ending with "Install successful".  Confirm that git is still 
not properly installed. Shut down or restart.


[step 2]  Boot into the Recovery partition by holding down <cmd>+R while 
power on and boot.


[step 3] Utilities > Terminal


[step 4] $ scrutil disable


[step 5] Restart normally > Terminal > sudo mv /usr/git /usr/bin/git-system


[step 6] Shut down and reboot into the Recovery partition as above.


[step 7] Utilities > Terminal


[step 8] $ scrutil enable


[step 9] Restart normally ...


*** Git now seems to be installed.  I'm still having trouble getting it 
to work properly with a private GitHub repository.  However, RStudio 
recognizes git, and I've confirmed that /usr/bin includes a subdirectory 
git-system and NOT simply git.  My problems now seem to be GitHub and 
RStudio issues.  Thanks again for your help.  I hope this summary might 
help others.  Spencer Graves

Thanks for the summary. I have been googling this for a while until I found
this and it worked for me.

Just one note (possibly a minor typo): it should be *csrutil* disable/enable
not scrutil
