Hello!  
I’m very new to Nextflow (and analyzing sequencing data in general!) and I’m trying to install it on my Windows 10 PC.  
I have followed the installation walkthrough, and when I get to “nextflow info” I get the following error:

/c/Users/ingri/.local/bin/nextflow: line 175: exec: C:Usersingri.sdkmancandidatesjavacurrentbinjava: not found

I have already added the .local/bin/ to my PATH variable. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing it?

Thanks in advance!

I solved it! I was trying to install using a Git Bash terminal, and not WSL. Now it is working. 🙂
