Prefect Community

Hi all, we are running Prefect (2.8.7) with a github storage block, and I am running into the error `FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'` .  It was working fine, until we re-deployed a fresh EC2, and now it's not working.  Is there any kind of configuration I'm missing, other than having a git-hub block &amp; having `prefect-github` installed on the EC2?

Any help is so appreciated!

according to the traceback prefect invoke git which is not installed on your fresh VM

`apt update &amp;&amp; apt install git`  for debian based distro as example

Ahh I knew we were missing something - thank you so much, I will try this
