 ## Installation
 
+**Note**: it is strongly suggested to run Astuto on Linux or macOS. As of today, Windows is likely to [cause problems](https://github.com/riggraz/astuto/wiki/Common-problems#standard_init_linuxgo211-exec-user-process-caused-no-such-file-or-directory). If you want to try anyway, follow along with the [Windows users installation guide](https://github.com/riggraz/astuto/wiki/Installation-for-Windows-users).
+
 1. Ensure that you have the required software installed.
 2. Clone this repository.
 3. In Astuto's root directory, create a file named `.env` and fill it with the required environment variables (see `.env-example` for an example and check [this wiki page](https://github.com/riggraz/astuto/wiki/Required-environment-variables) for an explanation of the variables).
