Windows:

If you want to use this bash script on Windows and you have WSL you can follow the instructions for Linux.

I tested this with Git bash, and it works well, first you would have to install Git bash on your computer, then you'd have to install jq for windows and put the exe file in a folder so it can to be included in the $PATH variable, e.g. [GIT BASH FOLDER]\mingw64\bin (Usually C:\Program Files\Git), finally you can run the script just make sure its has the execute bit on.

git clone

git clone --single-branch --branch main --depth 1 https://github.com/Noam-Alum/lpi_010_160_exam.git
cd lpi_010_160_exam/
chmod +x lpi.sh

# ! Make sure you followed the instructions above !
