Install: Unable to Install Firedrake on Windows

[UserHandel]

I am trying to install Firedrake, but it is not going well: I've spent 2 days on it on two completely separate computers, but keep receiving the same errors on both. Does anyone have any advice? See below for the log file and error messages:

This looks like you are trying to install Firedrake on Windows. This is not supported unless you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Information on how to install with WSL is here.
