Hi, Thank you for your excellent utility.

Please see the attached error when trying to install mudslide on a Win 10 pro machine. MudslideError

Please help. Warm regards,

Jayadev

Hi @ujayadev 👋

I've seen this type of error before if you try to install Mudslide as a user that has no SSH access to GitHub (an external dependency of Mudslide is defined as an SSH link to a GitHub repo.)

A workaround that fixed my issue was to first run:

git config --global url."https://github".insteadOf ssh://git@github

and then try the install again.

Could you give this a try please?

Hi,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply.

I had to install git on the machine and the error resolved by itself.

Is installing Git compulsory or is there a work around ?

Warm regards,

Jayadev

Aha, yes, Git is also needed due to this repo dependency.

Great you fixed it 😄
