Common Problems For Windows Users

/usr/bin/env: python: Permission denied.

If you are in Git Bash, please check the python executable location by run which python.

If the executable is under ~/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/, then it is a link to Windows AppStore, not a real one.

Please install Python manually and update this in your PATH environment variable.

Your USERPROFILE contains non-ASCII characters

pre-commit may fail when initializing an environment for a particular hook when the path of pre-commit's cache contains non-ASCII characters. The solution is to set PRE_COMMIT_HOME to a path containing only standard characters before running pre-commit.

• CMD: set PRE_COMMIT_HOME=C:\somepath\pre-commit

• PowerShell: $Env:PRE_COMMIT_HOME = "C:\somepath\pre-commit"

• git bash: export PRE_COMMIT_HOME="/c/somepath/pre-commit"
