I would guess you need to install git.

Well, first, if I try without --v2, it works just fine.
Now, I installed the git and still after that, I got this error

We had problems at the network with the DNS, it timed out the look up.

Once installing git, and connecting to a different network, everything worked fine.

Question though, why did it work without git when I didn’t add the --V2 ?
