42+ ::: warning Windows users — use PowerShell, not WSL
43+ On Windows, the Arcsecond CLI ** must be installed and run natively using
44+ PowerShell** (or the standard Windows Command Prompt). Do ** not** use the Bash
45+ shell that comes with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
46+
47+ WSL runs in a virtualised Linux environment that does not have direct access to
48+ the host's USB devices. As a result, the webcam proxy cannot see cameras
49+ attached to the Windows machine when launched from inside WSL.
50+
51+ Install Python and the Arcsecond CLI with the native Windows Python installer
52+ (from [ python.org] ( https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ ) ) and run all
53+ ` arcsecond webcam ` commands from a ** PowerShell** or ** cmd.exe** window.
