how to fix theia (the BYO ide) git not found error

even if you follow the official (or my) install instructions to the letter to build your own (BYO) theia ide you may get still this error

$ ./theia/node_modules/.bin/theia start
root INFO Theia app listening on http://localhost:3000.
root ERROR Error: Git installation not found.
at ./node_modules/find-git-exec/lib/find-git-exec.js:69:69

its nothing to be scared of it just means i (or you) forgot to install git

if you are running linuxliteos or xubuntu just run

# aptitude install git

then restart theia
