• Python 3.12
• Git

DEV Mode (Shell)

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/SpaceZ-Projects/Node-Z-win.git
cd Node-Z-win

Create a virtual environment :

python -m venv env

Run the following command to temporarily bypass the execution policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
