how to run GIT commands

Question

I am new to Android Open Accessor AOA, and I wanted to download paho library designed for Android service.

I read this documentaion here, but it says in the section of Building from source that I have to apply this command

git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.java.git

I really do not know where to run this command? is it a cmd command or what? i really do not know.

Answer 1

if you are using Linux(Considering Ubuntu Here) then you need to install git first

sudo apt-get install git

then in terminal you can use to clone the repo in local directory

git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.java.git

if you are on windows install git on windows follow instructions for git on their site: http://git-scm.com/downloads
