Cause

Git LFS has been enabled for the repository, however Git LFS is not installed on both the Bamboo Server and / or agent responsible for the build.  Or git-lfs is not in the path.

Resolution 1

1. On both the Bamboo Server and agent responsible for the build: download and install the git-lfs command line client

2. Initialise Git LFS:

   $ git lfs install

Resolution 2

1. From the command line locate git-lfs

   1. which git-lfs

   2.  Or if not in your terminal path.  Note you will need to ignore any files with a path in /doc/:

      find / -name git-lfs -executable -print 2> /dev/null 

2. Add path from above to the Bamboo path: 
   1. For Systemd - How to pass the PATH variable to Bamboo when running it as a systemd service in RedHat Enterprise Linux 7
   2. For init, add the path to your path variable.
