v0.11.5 requires git to be installed

[jealousofyou]

While updating from v0.11.4 to v0.11.5, I got an error when homebridge was running sudo -E -n npm install -g homebridge-people-pro@latest via the plugin's "UPDATE" button in the UI. The npm log file showed this:

162 verbose Linux 5.4.83-v7+
163 verbose argv "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "homebridge-people-pro@latest"

170 error enoent
170 error enoent spawn git ENOENT
171 error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

My system:

• Pi 3b, running buster
• Homebridge: v1.3.4, installed as per the instructions at https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Raspbian
• Node.js: v14.16.1, recently updated from v14.16.0 to satisfy a dependency from homebridge-hue v0.13.8
• Npm: v6.14.12

Some quick googling indicated that the error was caused by git not being present on my system. After running sudo apt install git I could successfully install the homebridge-people-pro plugin.

Sorry, unthoughtful update of mine. This should be fixed with v0.11.6. Thanks for the report!
