Hello,

I’m trying to run getting started tutorial on my machine and despite running git lfs install I still get error message. Is this problem connected to migrating to new version of pipeline or is it something else?

Thank you.

The problem is that I did everything as mentioned in the post you are referring me too. But I still have an error message.
