Description

Problem:

npm throws a ENOGIT error when installing the plugman module on a system that does not have git installed.

This is a common scenario on a Windows machine, where many users will use node.js command prompt to interact with node applications. In order to access git, the user must use GitBash command prompt or add git to their node.js command prompt PATH.

Reason:

The package.json references the git repository filmaj/node-xcode.

Solution:

The package.json should reference a published node module or a standard HTTP address that references a tarball.
