I am trying to set-up a PostgreSQL connector ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/e/9e2c34c7239567e3cd7ee6076c4aeaa4e2a8b10e.png) Following this set of instructions, I could not find a config.yml file in the clone so I created one myself. When I ran `make file`, I get this error: ```auto python3.10 -m venv . process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, python3.10 -m venv ., ...) failed. make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified. make: *** [bin/python] Error 2 ``` Could anyone help with explaining what is the issue? ---

Hi Lim\_Rik! Do you run the command `make file`? There's no such command - you should, however, be able to run `make run` or `make test` commands that will run or test the connectors service. Best, Artem ---

sorry I meant to say that I ran `make run` ---

I see. Can you describe your setup? Are you running on a unix system or using unix subsystem for Windows? Do you have python3.10 installed on this host? ---

Searching around led me to this Stack Overflow post: > Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine to check, but it makes sense from looking at it. The error that you see seems to point to the fact that `make` cannot for some reason run `python3.10`. This can happen due to various reasons (see the linked stack overflow post). You can try: - Verifying that `python3.10` is in your `%PATH%` - Installing GNU make ---

Am I supposed to make my own config.yml file? Because the github repository only comes with a config.yml.example file ---

If you use `make run` command the file will be created for you by copying `config.yml.example` file. You can also do it yourself before starting the service. ---
