Error: spawn git-upload-pack ENOENT running command git-upload-pack

See original GitHub issue

When running a fresh install on Win 10, the commit goes well but I get the above error after trying to access the repo:

$ git clone http://localhost:7005/repo-test master
Cloning into 'master'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://localhost:7005/repo-test/': Recv failure: Connection was reset

The error coming from the server:

fetch repo-test
events.js:137
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn git-upload-pack ENOENT running command git-upload-pack --stateless-rpc --advertise-refs G:\src\web\portal-development\demos\node-git-server-master\example\tmp\repo-test
    at ChildProcess.ps.on (G:\src\web\portal-development\demos\node-git-server-master\lib\util.js:90:29)

    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:389:16)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:152:19)

Any pointers as to what is going wrong?

Thanks

The above instructions didn’t work for me. In fact I tried something similar before opening this issue but when I try to do npm i node-git-server inside the repo, I get the following error, which is the same error I got when I tried the above steps.

npm ERR! code ENOSELF

npm ERR! also called "node-git-server". Did you name your project the same
npm ERR! as the dependency you're installing?

@gabrielcsapo You need to amend the documentation to make it clear that users can use the given example either in a fresh node project or an existing one but outside of this repo.

Edit:

I did get this working on a new node project.

Thank you so much @jlxip for helping @netlander with his issue! Really thorough instructions. @netlander did these help? If so I think we could add these to the docs so that anyone else facing this issue can refer back to this for help.
