Got the same thing, so I had to clone and make minor changes to README.md before it worked. See my pull request for the exact changes: #12

This issue can be solved by adding ", encoding='utf-8' "
Please refer to https://github.com/google/tangent/pull/9 .

@berseus Me too, I have also cloned and downloaded it.

@Watesoyan I saw your fix as well, and it looks nice in case you prefer to keep the non-ascii symbols in the markdown file.

Doubly fixed in PRs #12 and #9. Thanks folks!

For Chinese system language users:
在 控制面板-区域-更改系统区域设置 中
勾选 Beta版：使用 Unicode UTF=8 提供全球语言支持(U) 选项
重启电脑后，就可以安装了。

The PR mentioned above has been merged, is this still an issue for people?
