Can't find Git using Version Control on R Studio after download
<p>So I am a student enrolled at the University of Missouri. </p>

<p>I am enrolled in a course that uses R Studio daily and the professor has his class materials uploaded on a github account specific to our class. </p>

<p>He walked us through how to import the files from GitHub to R Studio using the procedure <code>File-&gt;New Project-&gt;Version Control-&gt;Git</code> and then supposedly I can paste his Git link into the next box to import the class materials/data into R Studio. </p>

<p>The Issue is that I have downloaded the latest Git from <a href="https://git-scm.com/downloads" rel="nofollow">https://git-scm.com/downloads</a> and proceeded to do the process described in the paragraph above. After I select "Version Control" and then select "Git" it appears a message that says the following:</p>

<p>"Git was not detected on the system path.</p>

<p>To create projects from Git repositories you should install Git and then restart RStudio</p>

<p>Note that if Git is installed and not on the path, then you can specify its location using the Preference dialog."</p>

<p>I did some research on this problem and found that I need to select Tools->Global Options->Git/Svn and then browse for something called /usr/local/git/bin or something along those lines. I can not seem to find that file. I have downloaded Git 2 or 3 times so there should be no issue with that. I have also restarted RStudio a few times like instructed. I have done research and attempted to work with the terminal but can't seem to solve this problem. I have a Mac with OS X version 10.9.5 and when installing Git I have selected the Macintosh Disk because that is my only option to store the installation. Answers would be great as I will begin falling behind in class soon without it. Thanks.</p>
