postinstall failing: 'scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command (windows)

[Zertuk]

Trying to npm install BLeak, but am running into an issue with mitmproxy-node failing its postinstall script. Here is the error message:

> [email protected] postinstall C:\Users\jforcier\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\mitmproxy
> scripts/install_python_deps.py

'scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Cloning the repo and replacing the postinstall path with the direct path is my current work around. This is reproducible on multiple windows computers, but I don't have easy access to other OSs to see whether its windows only or not.

Yes it's because you're on windows. Does this work inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux? Mitmproxy suggests installing that way anyways.
