installing GIT on EMR
===

1) I have been told that git comes stock installed on EMR.  Is this true ? I believe not, as I can confirm that "git" is not found in my elastic-mapreduce ssh terminal.

2) I need to install git on EMR, but the following line :

hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo apt-get install git --assume-yes

Results in : 

hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo apt-get install git --assume-yes
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

git is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Unfortunately, however, git does not run on this EMR instance, even after issueing this command : 

hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ git
-bash: git: command not found
hadoop@ip-10-235-11-52:/mnt$ sudo git
sudo: git: command not found
