Hi Eleni,

The message you're seeing is telling you GIT isn't installed on your PC, you can install GIT by downloading the executable at the below link.

http://git-scm.com/downloads

NOTE: During the installation you will see a screen like the below, make sure you check the button that says "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt" which is the second option, once the installation is complete restart your PC and you will now be able to us the git command.

Install GIT in PATH

Hope that helps.
