Hi,
I've installed Node-Red v2.0.3 on a VM in Oracle Cloud und manually Installed Git V2.x as described here [ORACLE-BASE - Git 2.x Installation on Linux](https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/git-2-installation-on-linux)
When starting NR manually at bash everything is finde, the projects extension is working:
```auto
[opc@node-red ~]$ node-red
27 Jul 06:34:45 - [info]
Willkommen bei Node-RED!

```
but when starting the nodered .service the project extension is deactivated because git is not found
```auto
[opc@node-red ~]$ node-red-start
Start Node-RED
Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at http://10.0.0.122:1880
On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser
Use node-red-stop to stop Node-RED
Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again
Use node-red-log to view the recent log output
Use sudo systemctl enable nodered.service to autostart Node-RED at every boot
Use sudo systemctl disable nodered.service to disable autostart on boot
To find more nodes and example flows - go to http://flows.nodered.org
Starting as a systemd service.
Started Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.
