Hi, I am using a Windows local machine, and encountered the following error when executing  
“make pack-submission” in Command Prompt:

> process\_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, which nvidia-smi, …) failed.  
> mkdir -p submission/  
> The syntax of the command is incorrect.  
> make: \*\*\* [pack-submission] Error 1

Would anyone be able to assist and advise? Thanks!

Hi @wenhao89,

I believe based on the error that Make is trying to run the commands with the wrong shell. Our Makefiles are written to work with Unix shells like Bash. You should make sure you have Bash installed, and to configure Make to use it. [Here](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Choosing-the-Shell.html) is some documentation.
