install_symlink

Diagnostic `nanook::cli::install_symlink`

Summary

failed to symlink `{0}` -> `{1}`

Help

on Windows, symlinks need Developer Mode or admin : drop --symlink to copy instead

Details

When this fires

nanook install --symlink tried to create a symlink and the OS refused. On Unix this is rare (usually a perms problem on the destination dir). On Windows, plain users can't create symlinks without Developer Mode or admin rights, so this is the usual landing spot.

What to check

On Windows: enable Developer Mode (Settings -> Privacy & security -> For developers), or run an elevated shell, or drop --symlink to copy instead.

# fall back to a plain copy
nanook install --force
