Running pub install. Please ensure Git is correctly installed. Mac OSX

When putting git: dependency in the pubspec. I get the following error:

'Running pub install' has encountered a problem. ... ... ... Please ensure Git is correctly installed.

My git is installed at version 1.8.0 that I can access via the terminal on my Mac OS X 10.7.5.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I decided to just navigate to the dart project folder and run pub install on the terminal.

I think the problem is that git's path is loaded to PATH only on terminal start up. Terminal does this by running a file ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile that often exports the paths to commonly used programs. As a consequence, a GUI app such as the Dart Editor can't 'see' git as it doesn't run this start up file.

There is a way to make certain paths visible to all applications though.

Try creating a file:

/etc/paths.d/git

With the following contents:

/usr/local/git/bin/

If your Git installation is located somewhere else, then use the path accordingly.
