I am trying to install git-lfs package and it looks like expected paths are not Ubuntu friendly. From Downloads section of git-lfs I choose Linux AMD64 file name git-lfs-freebsd-amd64-1.2.1.tar.gz, because .deb files are not available for Ubuntu, just Debian 7,8.

I am getting error: install.sh: 19: install.sh: PATH+=:/usr/local/bin: not found when executing install.sh.

Does anyone have a working solution on how to install git-lfs?

There are in fact .deb files at that you can install; the link you visited also hinted at this by stating that "All packages are available on PackageCloud now."

In any case, if you visit , the simplest way to install git-lfs is to follow the instructions at :

curl -s | sudo bash

Then, according to , do

sudo apt-get install git-lfs

If you don't trust the source of script.deb.sh and are uncomfortable with running the script with sudo bash, you should definitely take a look at the script first.

I was looking for a way to install entirely from the command line (server/VM setup), and was able to do so by following the instructions from the documentation, copied below for reference.

1. sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
2. sudo curl -s | sudo bash*
3. sudo apt-get install git-lfs
4. git lfs install

*The sudo in step 2 is my addition, and without it this step was failing silently. Maybe to do with my user permissions on the server? ymmv

I found my solution, the problem was executing install.sh using sh:

The correct way is sudo ./install.sh or sudo bash install.sh instead of sh install.sh.
