```
.\build_whisper.cmd

```

Finally, when the installation is successful, run the backend using the following command from same terminal

```bash
.\start_with_output.ps1

```

### Troubleshooting

1. Warning - existing chocolatey installation is detected

To address this - Either use the current chocolatey version installed or remove the current one with

```
rm C:\ProgramData\chocolatey
```

2. Error - ./start_with_output.ps1 shows security error

Run after making sure the file is unblocked

```
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force .\start_with_output.ps1
