**Your software** My Mautic version is: 4.2.1 My PHP version is: 8.1.4 My Database type and version is: MySQL 8.0.28 **Your problem** My problem is: When following the instructions on [How to install Mautic on a localhost | Grav](https://kb.mautic.org/knowledgebase/installation/how-to-install-mautic-on-a-localhost) (I use Laragon instead of AMPPS but I encounter the same error when installing using AMPPS as well), I get this error when doing ‘composer install’ step: ‘xargs’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Script find . -mindepth 2 -type d -name .git | xargs rm -rf handling the remove-git-submodules event returned with error code 255 Script @remove-git-submodules was called via post-update-cmd. After that, when I go to [http://localhost/mautic](http://localhost/mautic), I get 403 Forbidden error. These errors are showing in the log: No logs as I cannot even install Mautic. Steps I have tried to fix the problem: None. ---
