I encountered the same issue.

The problem lies in the shebang statement of the file './scripts/validate_filenames.py':

#!/usr/bin/env python3

On Windows, the 'python3' command is not recognized, but you could theoretically resolve this by changing the shebang in the script to:

#!/usr/bin/env python

This modification will make it work on your machine.

But to ensure compatibility with other operating systems, you can instead create a symbolic link to the 'python.exe' file on your machine. Follow these steps:

Open the command prompt as admin (cmd).
Navigate to your Python directory.
Create a symbolic link using the following command:

mklink python3.exe python.exe

I was facing the same issue and resolved by
navigate to python directory in my case C:\Users\Marhaba Tech.pk\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312 and then convert python.exe file to python3.exe

it work in my case
