I am trying to install my wordpress site locally using the Local app. However, when I try to create a new site, I get an error related to the email address. I also don’t have much disk space—could this be causing the problem? I have tried using different email accounts, but it still doesn’t work. I also tried importing the WordPress ZIP file, but that didn’t work either.

`missing --admin_email parameter (The email address for the admin user).`  
`23b695pQP' is not recognized as an internal or external command,`  
`operable program or batch file.`

We’ve seen some other users run into this error before when they have special characters in their passwords @andreapeter90 - which is a known bug for Windows users. Could you try creating credentials without any special characters and see if that works?
