How to install latest version of git in Redhat 6.x/7.x

I am trying to install git in Redhat6. I am following how to install git this tutorial.

# cd /usr/src
# wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.0.5.tar.gz
# tar xzf git-2.0.5.tar.gz

# cd git-2.0.5
# make prefix=/usr/local/git all
# make prefix=/usr/local/git install
# echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin" >> /etc/bashrc
# source /etc/bashrc

# git --version

I am able to clone the repo and able to download the git zip file. but when I execute this command.

 make prefix=/usr/local/git all

I get this error

[varun@home git-2.0.5]# make prefix=/usr/local/git all 
GIT_VERSION =2.0.5
* new build flags
CC credential-store.o /bin/sh: cc: 
command not found make: *** [credential-store.o] Error 127

How do I solve this?

I am able to install git using yum install git. but by default 1.7.1 is getting install. But i want to install above 2.

Edit 1 When I executed 

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

It download the required dependency and the above error is gone.

Now when I execute this make prefix=/usr/local/git all I am getting bellow error

And these two line 

 # echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin" >> /etc/bashrc
 # source /etc/bashrc

are successfully executed

but when I type git --version I am still getting

bash: /usr/bin/git: No such file or directory

Please find below the Steps I followed to install Git without internet access on the system

  • Download the desired tarball from below link, on your PC/Laptop https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/. I used the Git-2.8, as the customer requirement was to have version >=2.7.4
  • Connect to remote Linux system (via winscp or nay other remote connectivity tool). And Place/Move the downloaded git-[version].tar.gz file on desired location on the linux system where you want to install ‘git’. I placed it in Directory: /var/opt/teradata/packages/Package/GIT/
  • From the ommand prompt go to the directory where you placed the above file and run below command to untar the package tar -xvzf git-2.8.0.tar.gz
  • cd into the directory that is newly created by the untar command above, e.g. cd git-2.8.0/.
  • Verify that all the needed files and directories have been uncompressed into the above folder with ls -ltr.

  • Set the Path and Prefix variables with commands below.

    PATH=$PATH:/var/opt/teradata/packages/Package/GIT/git-2.8.0/usr/bin
PATH=$PATH:/var/opt/teradata/packages/Package/GIT/git-2.8.0
export PATH=$PATH:/var/opt/teradata/packages/Package/GIT/git-2.8.0
make prefix=/usr/local/git all
echo $CC
  • Run ./configure to check the preinstall configuration checks.
  • Run make install to install.
  • Check that git has been properly installed with git --version.

Looks like /bin/sh: cc: command not found is the error message and it has been split on 2 lines to add extra confusion. i.e. there is no cc command.

It means that you need to install a C compiler. If you run the following command it should install all the necessary tools (gcc, binutils, etc) to compile git.

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

You are also missing the necessary development headers, like openssl:

yum install openssl-devel curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel zlib-devel
