Hi I'm trying to get the test script running on the angular tutorial (step 2, writing and running test part 1) but I'm stuck at trying to run the karma server but when I run the command in the GitBash terminal I get this error

John@JOHN-PC ~/angular-phonecat ((step-2))
$ ./scripts/test.sh

Starting Karma Server (http://karma-runner.github.io)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.10.2 server started at http://localhost:9876/
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Chrome
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start Chrome
    Can not find the binary C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Applic
ation\chrome.exe
    Please set env variable CHROME_BIN

any idea what this means

here's the link to the tutorial http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_02

As Cristian Ternus had already pointed out you will have to set the correct value of the CHROME_BIN env variable. Dont copy the path as it is provided in the comment. You will have to find out where crome.exe is present on your machine. Please refer http://bardevblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/setting-up-angularjs-angular-seed-node-js-and-karma/ which is a nice tutorial about running angular test cases. Step 8 in the tutorial is addressing your issue.
