git is not installed or not in the PATH

Question

Windows, when I try to run npm install, it shows:

mean@1.0.0 postinstall E:\\mean
node node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt install
Running \"bower:         


        

Answer 1

I did install git and tried again and got the same error. But running 'npm install' in a new command prompt window worked for me. Restarting the machine is not required.
