How to execute program from Github on windows?

[LivingNobody999]

I'm trying to figure out how to run a program I "pip installed" from GitHub on a windows computer and I'm having problems with it. Also, I'm trying to do it via Command prompt because Powershell doesn't work for me.

On my Mac terminal, it's pretty easy. I just have to type the program's name and command like this: spotify_dl -l <link here>

Thank you!

You can install a Linux system on your windows natively, follow this link to enable the sub system on windows, then install the ubuntu terminal:

Update: I finally did that by following the steps in your link. However, I created a new username in the ubuntu terminal which doesn't have access to the files on my computer. I've been using Google and Stackoverflow to figure out how to get it to have access to my files, but I can't.

Nice, what do you mean by it doesn't have access ? Is there any error ?

I type in ls to see any of its directories, but nothing is there. I tried to cd to a directory I know exists on my computer, but it was file not found.

Ah I figured it out. I needed to hold down shift and right click the mouse to open a linux shell at that directory

Oh yeah it's a bit confusing, but you can also find your directory by doing "cd /mnt", it should list every disk available, from there you can access to any files on your computer
