Git: 'Lfs' Is Not a Git Command Unclear

Every time I enter in my command window 

git lfs install

the message I get is git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

I tried looking up for a solution, but none of the answers were clear. Can someone explain clear how to fix this?

It looks like you haven't downloaded git-lfs on your machine, so git lfs install isn't a registered command by git.

Install git-lfs as outlined below:

1. Pre-Requisites

  • git-lfs requires git version 1.8.2 or later. You can check the version you have by running git --version, and update if required.
  • If you are installing on macOS, make sure you have Homebrew installed.
