Here is the error, please note that [my path] is obviously not the actual path but a sudo one and I do include the relevant parts of the path and it is all stored within the same folder:
What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘SpongeVanilla’.
Could not read script ‘[my path]\SpongeCommon\gradle\implementation.gradle’ as it does not exist,
First, Markdown ate your <my path> placeholders. Either put them in code blocks, using backticks (recommended) or change them to [my path] style things.
Secondly, to get this properly working, it’s far easier to install Git and clone it, like Simon said.
Grab a copy from http://git-for-windows.github.io/.
In theory you could use zip files but it’s such a pain, and with Git you get… all the benefits of using Git.
I have github for windows and I will try it when I get home. When using github for windows however, how would I enter the command? I know that sounds like a silly question but I am more or less new to GitHub.
Click the gear in the top right, then ‘Open in Git Shell’.
If you clone it without --recursive, which GitHub does, you need to enter git submodule update --init --recursive in the shell before subprojects will be available.
