problems installing GIT on my MAC OS X 10.11.5

Hello, 
I am doing a data science course and need to download GIT but for some reason I can’t installed it. I called Apple but they couldn’t help and suggested me to contact you guys. 

I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much,

Maria Jose Freeman

So you proceeded to http://git-scm.com/download/mac fetched the
installer, then found the downloaded file in the Finder, clicked it --
and then what happened?

Not sure, we need to verify first, what had happened.

Typically, if you install Xcode, there is a program
wrapper called git, saying that you need to install it
as part of Xcode.

You can do this.
You can go to http://git-scm.com/download/mac.
You can install git via homebrew, via fink or mac ports.

So it could be nice to know what exactly happened, please.
