Hi @Kobra299 -- I am yet to test it on *nix fully. It works on Mac, but we will make sure it works on Windows as well, still in the early phases of release. I've been busy just getting all the material together, but I intend to resolve these issues soon.

@Kobra299 Understand the frustration, although I have been able to get it working on a Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with a Ubuntu 24.04 image. Took a bit of hacking, but it works just fine. Alternatively, you can explore Git Bash to setup it up locally. In this regard, checkout a modified Bash script you can use for setting up here while the team is taking time to review the proposed additions/modifications. On the other hand, here is a proposed Powershell script that one of us has developed for use on Windows.
