## Troubleshooting

* If you are using Windows, you may encounter the following when you run `make`:
```
sha1sum -c checksum.sha1
sha1sum: 'papermario.z64'$'\r': No such file or directory
: FAILED open or read
sha1sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read
Makefile:118: recipe for target 'verify' failed
make: *** [verify] Error 1
```
> 💡 Solution

> Run `git checkout checksum.sha1` and retry building. Windows has different line endings than Linux, causing some of our tools to break.
