 ```
 
 One of the workaround to fix this issue is setting up python tool cache files at `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory. This is the default path which `setup-python` action uses to download relevant files on hosted GitHub actions runner. Overriding tool cache download directory can be achieved by following [setup-python documentation](https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#linux).

+A `pex_binary` will not run on non-dev-mode Windows installations (see [the next issue](##Running PEX on Windows)). 
+At the moment Pants does not export `.exe` files, this is a potential feature addition - see [issue](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/22897).

+This means that you need to enable SYMLINKS with developer mode. This is lessens the security of your device, you can turn it off later.
