Research direction
Locate the existing libgit2 installation documentation in the website and review its Unix/Linux instructions first. Document how to check the installed version with pkg-config, handle an incompatible package-manager version through manual compilation, set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and include common error screenshots; done means all four requested areas are covered.

- The existing
libgit2installed by package manager is most likely not of version 1.3.0, one could usepkg-config --modversion libgit2to make sure of that - When existing version doesn't fit our requirement, provide a guide to uninstall existing version, and adopt the Manual Compilation approach.

PKG_CONFIG_PATHandLD_LIBRARY_PATHenvironment variable for Manual Compilation approach. - Provide some common error message screen shot for developer to check if they are having the same kind of problem
