Just installed JuliaPro on a windows 10 (follwing [https://juliaacademy.com/courses/689459/lectures/12307525](https://juliaacademy.com/courses/689459/lectures/12307525)) but putting julia on a non default directory.

As per tutorial I tried to authendicate by issuing the up command at the pkg\> prompt.

First error, it asked me to copy a token.toml file somewhere on my system (under the .juliapro folder in my user directory). Did that and then I got the second error:

ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `git credential-manager store`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
