It looks like it is not able to copy the ttf files into the C:\Windows\Fonts directory.

Edit: Fixed it by using sudo scoop install FiraCode (after installing sudo via scoop install sudo)

If the Copy-Item cmdlet is failing with an error saying The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open, it's because another process is locking that directory. It can be tricky to pin down what is locking the folder locally but unfortunately it cannot be fixed in the manifest or in scoop itself

This is the intended use as stated in the README . You can do it that way or start the Shell with admin privileges.

Note: Admin rights are required to install these fonts, because their installers modify the registry. Additionally, restarting your computer after uninstalling a font is necessary for the font to be fully removed.

If I'm not mistaken you need admin privileges to install anything on C drive except its in you user folder. That's why you need to elevate PowerShell.
