[Update to V2.12.0] Husky installation fails on Raspberry Pi 3

[lavolp3]

My most recent version of Raspbian Linux
magicmirror 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
includes git v.2.11.0. But the installation of husky with the recent update to V.2.12.0 today asks for 2.13.0

> husky@4.2.5 preuninstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/husky
> node husky uninstall

husky > Uninstalling git hooks
husky > Done

> husky@4.2.5 install /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/husky
> node husky install

husky > Setting up git hooks
Husky requires Git >=2.13.0. Got v2.11.0.
husky > Failed to install

> husky@4.2.5 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/husky
> opencollective-postinstall || exit 0

Anyone else experienced the same issue?

I have Raspian Stretch installed.
Raspbian Buster seems to include git 2.20.0

I have done the latest git install with apt. But on stretch git v2.11.0 is the latest version.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/git

So for a lot of users husky will not be installed.
But don’t know if it is important.

@lavolp3 install from source

@sdetweil Thanks for the good advice but this should not be the solution if more users have this problem.
MagicMirror should work on top of a basic raspbian setup, ideally scratch AND buster.
That’s what I wanted to highlight.

@lavolp3 I agree. people are still trying to install on Jessie, cause they found some old instructions someone wrote

I think that stuff should only be installed for prod, not test/development. will have to test that when I get home.
