Substrate Dev Hub error when compile substrate-node-template in windows 10

Question

I have followed the instructions for setting up my windows based computer but when I try to initialize WebAssembly build environment from powershell with

make init

show this error:

./scripts/init.sh
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, env bash D:\Blockchain-substrate\substrate-node-template\scripts\init.sh, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [Makefile:3: init] Error 2

The init.sh file contain

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

echo "*** Initializing WASM build environment ***"

if [ -z $CI_PROJECT_NAME ] ; then
    rustup update nightly
    rustup update stable
fi

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

The installed toolchains seems to be fine

stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
nightly-2020-10-01-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
nightly-2021-03-15-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (default)

installed targets for active toolchain
--------------------------------------

wasm32-unknown-unknown
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

active toolchain
----------------

nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (default)
rustc 1.52.0-nightly (107896c32 2021-03-15)

I have read everything that google could bring with my queries but no solved it, so I would appreciate your help

Did you try just running the individual commands on your machine? In general my guess is that the BASH script does not work on windows. — Shawn Tabrizi
Of note: the devhub just got updated to use substrate v3 that deprecates the make file, and strongly suggests using WSL, not native windows, to develop: substrate.dev/docs/en/knowledgebase/getting-started/#1a-windows . Would you be willing to try it this way? We are able to support much more quickly and easily if so — NukeManDan
please start again with the node template v3.0.0 for best results while learning: github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template/tree/… — NukeManDan
@NukeManDan thanks for your support, i will to install WSL to see what happens. — Adrian
As @NukeManDan indicated, using WSL and the substrate node template V3, I already have the blockchain working. Thanks — Adrian

From the comments:

This seems to be the best path for other windows users looking :)
