npm install results in the following error:

'ln' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Hi @amcassetti,

I'm sorry you ran into this issue.

OpenZeppelin Network.js uses preinstall to create a symlink for React.
ln doesn't exist on Windows.

You can try to import hooks directly from @openzeppelin/network/lib/react

Example:

import { useWeb3Network, useEphemeralKey, useWeb3Injected } from '@openzeppelin/network/lib/react';

According to this StackOverflow answer, you can create a soft link using the New-Item cmdlet.
(Thanks @nventuro: OpenZeppelin/starter-kit-gsn#44 (comment))

Alternatively, you could use Windows Subsystem for Linux, this is what I use on Windows 10.

Thanks for quick response! Installing using the gitbash console worked
