I got the `TTY mode is not supported on Windows platform` error. So tried to find out what’s going on.

Found this [No option prompts for composer sage install - on windows - #3 by mmirus](https://discourse.roots.io/t/no-option-prompts-for-composer-sage-install-on-windows/11339/3)

I tried the command, as pointed out in the thread `php vendor/bin/sage meta` in the new theme folder where the sage theme is

I tried to google “See if we are running in Cygwin by checking for cygpath program”, not much is coming up.

Any idea what’s happening?

Found the solution here:

> **[Php vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap -> stange result?](http://phptest.club/t/php-vendor-bin-codecept-bootstrap-stange-result/1381/2)**
>
> New to codeception. Installed it via composer. Running php 7.1.1 (64) When I start the command (Running it from the terminal in Laragon): php vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap stange result I see this in my window: dir=$(d=${0%[/\]*}; cd "$d";...

simply remove php from the command, ie. instead of

`php vendor/bin/sage meta`

use

`vendor/bin/sage meta`

Hi, I’m having the same problem. I run `vendor/bin/sage meta` but it only takes me through the first few commands, I never got as far as choosing the CSS Framework or adding Font Awesome. Admittedly, I am using tutorials to set things up so maybe the script has been updated and you don’t offer this option any more? Or, if you do, how do I get to select between the options?

EDIT: I found the answer in another thread: [No option prompts for composer sage install - on windows](https://discourse.roots.io/t/no-option-prompts-for-composer-sage-install-on-windows/11339/2)

If you are using Windows you’re [gonna need to use WSL](https://docs.roots.io/getting-started/windows/):
