Warning: Error in system2: '"git"' not found

[sbr2567]

I know this most likely isn't an issue with the package. The first time I ran the package I didn't get this error. However I've started to now get this error. It seems that photon isn't finding git on my system? I reinstalled git, restarted R and still get the same error.

The error occurs the moment I try to run the package with "create job". It occurs before anything is created with the package. Any advice on what this might be? I've been looking for a solid week for a package that can compile shiny, this is my last resort so hopefully I can get this working.

Thank you.

Are you using mac or windows?

Can you send me sessionInfo()

[sbr2567]

Sorry windows. Sure do you just need the console?

[aarizvi]

So if you go to powershell or the linux emulator on Windows and typed in:

git --version
node -v
npm -v

All of three of those commands work?

Here's the console

Interesting. I restarted my computer and tried to run the package again. This time it's a different error. Any ideas what would be causing this?
