Hi, I have tried to install checklist on windows10 but I received an error that I can not handle it. first of all, it gives me the error for this line in the setup file. (check_call([f"{sys.executable} -m pip install jupyter"], shell=True). I removed this line now I got the following error:
error: symbolic link privilege not held
I was wondering if your package is working on Windows. If it is true what I missed here.

Thanks

@marcotcr: Hi. I have fixed the issue in setup.py and tested the installation in Windows. It went through fine.
Raised a pull request for the same. Please have a look.

@AbinayaM02 Thank you for your reply. I still have the "error: symbolic link privilege not held" error. I can not run the installation on an admin account, but usually, for package installation, we do not need to have access to an admin account.

@ssahar : I actually cloned the repo and fixed the issue and ran the installation in an admin account only. The error you get seems more likely related to privilege. Usually for package installation, we don't need an admin account but if we're behind proxy then we need to have admin rights. Not sure what else can cause this.

Hi both! Sorry for our late reply. Unfortunately I don't have a windows laptop at hand so couldn't really test for now, but I've removed the command related to symlink, which should be the thing requiring admin rights from you. Please feel free to try and install from the repo. We will make a push to pip later.
