How can I install backgroundrb

I followed the install instruction to install backgroundrb from http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/. But when running "git clone git://github.com/gnufied/backgroundrb.git" command, I got the error of no such command git.

Is Git installed?

yes, I have installed git:

gem list -d git

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

git (1.0.5)     Author: Scott Chacon     Installed at: d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

    A package for using Git in Ruby code.

That would appear to be the ruby interface to git. You need to have the compiled git application installed as well. I'm not sure about where to get git for windows, but i'm sure google will know.

Can I use vnc instead? I have checked out the code of backgroundrb by vnc. How can I install it?

Do you mean svn? As far as I know, vnc is a remote desktop control tool, not a source control tool.

If you used svn to checkout backgroundrb, then just follow the instructions starting from "Configuration":

http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/
