Installing Git on Linux
Qualcomm® Package Manager uses the Git version control system to allow you to see changes and diff files both on ChipCode and locally on your machine. Version 1.8.1.2 or higher configured for openSSL is required for Qualcomm® Package Manager.
Each distribution of Linux has a package of Git available. Using the package-management tool that comes with your particular distro is all you need to install Git. The instructions below demonstrate how to install Git on a Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu.
