Unable to download Foundry on Windows

[SumiTechTo]

This is what my Bash command line looks like:
Sumita Pathak@LAPTOP-52PGEQL9 MINGW64 ~ (mem)
$ curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/c/Users/Sumita’: File exists

Please let me know how can I fix it

Are you using Windows WSL? Foundry doesn't work great on raw windows.

During the installation part of the course, we walk through getting windows WSL setup

Hey thanks for the reply. I am thinking of completely shifting to Linux, for this course as well as for my future opportunities

1st your mkdir don't work cause your file already exists. If you use VSC instead of shifting to Linux;you can install this 3 extensions; WSL, VSCode Terminal for Ubuntu+ Open(Wsl support). Be sure to have WSL 2 installed properly in windows. WINKEX could be a great addon too cause it allows you to use linux natively under windows and from recently even with cluster. Git Bash could work too, but it still a lightweight solution and maybe further in the course it will not be enough.

Hi @SumiTechTo, I'm using Windows, and to install Foundry, I had to install Git Bash as a lightweight solution. To this day, it is working perfectly. So, before shifting to Linux, try installing Git Bash, and after that, install Foundry using this console.

Hey thanks for the reply. I have already installed Git Bash but facing a server error as examined by a senior.
