Installing libgit2

Raw

Remove any libgit2 packages you already have, otherwise these will be included first and they do not necessarily have everything needed that you need for pygit2/git2go.

sudo apt-get purge libgit2-0 libgit2-dev

From http://www.pygit2.org/install.html

wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.23.4.tar.gz
tar xzf v0.23.4.tar.gz
cd libgit2-0.23.4/
cmake .
make
sudo make install

If you get:

error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Add LD_LIBRARY_PATH envionment variable for dynamically linked libraries - stackoverflow link

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
