I have followed the instructions for installing via composer.
using the command: composer create-project silverstripe/installer C:\xampp\htdocs\vhosts\mysite
gives me a mysite folder with some content, but no framework
and in command I have this message:
[RuntimeException]
Failed to clone http://github.com/composer/installers, git was not found, check that it is installed and in your path env.

I used the Composer installer and there was no mention of git..
Do I need to install git separately?
How do I put it in my path?

Hi DsX,

yeah, you'll need git installed.
You can get it here: http://git-scm.com/downloads
Installing on Windows should be easy, as decribed here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git#Installing-on-Windows

Cheers,
Christian
