I was cloning a github repository which has a git-lfs file.
When git-lfs client in my system tried to download the file it threw an error.
jeevansai@jeevansai-HP-15-Notebook-PC:~$ git clone

All you need to do is download the files from the github repo at github.com. . Click Clone or Download and then Download as ZIP. The only difference with doing it this way, is that you have to unzip it.
