Whenever I try to run the starter algo locally, it crashes. I am trying to run it in the git bash terminal on a windows machine. Python 3 and Java 10 are installed and the output is below. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for the help! Unfortunately, this is giving me an entirely different error now. I saw a suggestion on StackOverflow saying I should run using bash.exe and parameters, but I wasn’t sure if that made any sense in this context. The error output is again below.

Sorry, I should have read your original post more carefully! Running on a windows machine you should not execute the program using the Git Bash. Instead, use PowerShell.
Go to the same directory as before (should contain engine.jar, README, etc) and run the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
This will enable the program to run in PowerShell. You will need to run this using an administrator PowerShell.
Then you should be good to go!
Note: A lot of this information is in the README, I highly recommend giving it a look to get an idea of how to startup and how the file structure works.
Thank you! Long story short, i’ve been trying to get this to run locally for about 5 hours now. I’ve tried a bunch of goofy things and you can see where it got me haha It is running but of course I am getting a different error now. I’ll check the forums and see if it is there. I really appreciate the help!
P.S. I was wondering why everyone kept saying “read the ReadMe” because I didn’t think it had anything useful. Of course I kept reading the wrong one -.- Thanks again!
No problem, thanks for taking the time to research to problem yourself. If you can’t find the solution or have some other problems don’t hesitate to ask!
