Note: If you are using Windows, you may need to change your [line endings](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings).
* Unix based operating systems (like macOS or Linux) handle line separators [differently than Windows does](https://superuser.com/questions/374028/how-are-n-and-r-handled-differently-on-linux-and-windows). This can break bash scripts in particular. In the case of manage.py, it uses *#!/usr/bin/env python* to access Python. Since our scripts are still thinking in terms of unix line seperators, they may look for *'python\r'* rather than *python* since Windows cannot read the carriage return on its own - thus leading to the error `usr/bin/env: 'python\r' no such file or directory`
