      Hi, I am really new to Ubuntu and not very code literate. I have tried several ways of installing git on my Ubunto Studio OS, as I need it to run Stopmotion.

      I went through the first two stages on here perfectly fine, but running the “sudo apt-get install git” simply ends with unmet dependencies (java6-sdk, liberror-perl, and git-man x2), it suggests I correct with “apt-get -f install” which I do, and it encounters errors.

      Can you suggest a way to correct this and install git?

      Thanks, Kate
