<strong>For macOS</strong>, install Git for Mac
44-
by downloading and running the most recent "mavericks" installer from
45-
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">this list</a>.

Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
47-
right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click

Open on the pop up window.

After installing Git, there will not be anything in your <code>/Applications</code> folder,
50-
as Git is a command line program.
43+
Please open the Terminal app, type <code>git --version</code> and press
44+
<kbd>Enter</kbd>/<kbd>Return</kbd>. If it's not installed already,
45+
follow the instructions to <code>Install</code> the "command line
46+
developer tools". <strong>Do not click</strong> "Get Xcode", because that will
47+
take too long and is not necessary for our Git lesson.
48+
After installing these tools, there won't be anything in your <code>/Applications</code>
49+
folder, as they and Git are command line programs.

5352
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">available here</a>.

(Note: this project is no longer maintained.)

Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
55+
right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click

Open in the pop-up dialog. You can watch
