Cocoapods: Can't run Pod Install on windows

Created on 29 Aug 2018 · 7Comments · Source: CocoaPods/CocoaPods

I am trying to use CocoaPods on Windows to develop a React Native app. At first I was unable to run any commands at all, so I disabled the "cannot run cocoapods as root" function.

Trying to run any Pod commands now returns the following error:

C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/cocoapods-1.5.3/lib/cocoapods/executable.rb:111:in `block in which!': [!] Unable to locate the executable `git` (Pod::Informative)

you need to install git as the error message clearly says.

Thank you for your help. Git has always been installed, my issue is not fixed.

$ git --version
git version 2.8.1.windows.1

I am still having the issue:

cantfindbash

Git and curl are both on the PATH.
Any ideas?

EDIT:
The folder in git that contained bash.exe was _not_ on PATH. I then got a new error:
