Common Problems For Windows Users

  1. /usr/bin/env: python: Permission denied.

    If you’re in Git Bash or MSYS terminal, please check the python executable location by run which python.

    If the executable is under ~/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/, then it’s a link to Windows AppStore, not a real one.

    Please install python manually and update this in your PATH environment variable.
