Windows (WSL):

Note for Windows Developers: These scripts leverage native Linux tools and require a POSIX-compliant environment. While Windows doesn't natively support bash scripting with these dependencies, you can run them seamlessly using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This feature is officially supported on Windows 10 (version 2004 and higher) and Windows 11, providing a genuine Linux kernel running directly on Windows.

First, install WSL if you haven't:

Open PowerShell as Administrator

Run:-

wsl --install
