# Git LFS Installation Check

This tool verifies that Git and Git LFS are correctly installed and recognized on your computer. Your .gitattributes file will have no effect if Git LFS is not properly installed.

To run the check, press the "Check Git LFS Status" button.This will run the command “git lfs --version” on your device to get its output.

* On Success, a blue message box will appear confirming the Git LFS version you have installed.
* On Error, a red error box will clearly state whether the git command itself is missing or if just the git lfs command is missing. In either case, clickable Download Links will appear to guide you to the official download pages for both Git and Git LFS.
