git errors during install- RESOLVED

[TCMabe]

Resolved.
For anyone else with this issue.
Somehow I believe I installed an incorrect version of nodejs,
The correct version or at least the one that works is shown below.

//Install nodejs:
sudo apt-get install curl python-software-properties
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
