• Allow long paths on windows when using git
• Add C:\\Windows\\System32 to the PATH environment variable on Windows just in case it's not already there
• Some URLs are not downloading, use github releases link (for nodejs and conda)
• Install LLVM via homebrew because the mac native clang throws an error with "unsupported option -fopenmp" sometimes
• disallow non ascii folder paths => conda silently fails to install when trying to install to a folder path with non ascii characters
