Cookiecutter installation failing at GitHub link pasting stage #121

Closed maxpaton closed 6 years ago

maxpaton commented 6 years ago

I am new to GitHub, so apologies if my question needs work on the structure.

I'm trying to set up a cookiecutter data science project template on my Mac for the first time (recently installed anaconda3 to replace anaconda2, so am using python3). So far, I have successfully installed cookiecutter using pip, but get an error when I type the following in the command line:

cookiecutter https://github.com/drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science

The error message begins with:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/anaconda3/bin/cookiecutter", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/click/core.py", line 722, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs)

and ends with:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science']' returned non-zero exit status 69.

In the tutorial I'm following, the correct output is for it to prompt me to create a name for the project, and so on.

Would be grateful to get some feedback on this issue. Thanks!

Doing some Googling, this seems like an issue with git on macOS. The suggestion is to open XCode and accept the new license terms and then git will work again: https://dzone.com/articles/fixing-git-failure-code-69-when-opening-sourcetree

Closing for now.

Thanks a lot, it worked! seems strange since I didn't even have Xcode open or used it in about a year.

Is that a suitable way to present a question on Git? It's my first one...
