Legendary is a command line program. It is not meant to be ran by the user double-clicking it.

You do not have to place the .exe file into any specific directory, it will work wherever. To use it, open up a CMD window in the directory it's in (or anywhere if you placed it into a directory in your %PATH%) and type in legendary

Hm, the instructions posted seem to make sense to me. Would you mind hopping over onto our Discord to get to the bottom of this? Github isn't really the best place for discussions IMO

assume I'm a normal person and I don't know what you mean by %PATH%.

Which Path? To what? Epic? The game I want to run? MS Paint?

I have the same problem.

It says the following:

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.epicgames.com', port=xxx): Max retries exceeded with url: /id/api/set-sid?sid=xxx (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1108)')))
[12556] Failed to execute script cli

What should I do?

That sounds like you might have an anti-virus that does Man-in-the-middle attacks on your network traffic. Disable such features and throw it away.
