I am trying to install git fat using python pip

However, I am getting an 'invalid syntax' error below:

I've tried lots of things but cannot seem to figure it out.

Appreciate any ideas?

sudo pip install git-fat --user
--proxy=http://proxy-chain.intel.com:911/

  • It appears that the library does not support Python 3. This is valid in Python 2, but not 3. Commented May 30, 2019 at 12:04
