Hello @dikshant182004 I'm a new contributor as you, I don't think you'd have to claim issues in order to work on it. If you can resolve it, please let me know. I'm eager to solve the problem as well. If you need any help, ask that in the google group. Alternatively you can ping @mshudrak, he'd be the maintainer for this project.

Thanks.

Hi, i belive this is the reason

The scanner does not rely on any third-party tool (e.g. gcloud). Thus, it can be compiled as a standalone tool and used on a machine with no GCP SDK installed (e.g. a Kubernetes pod). However, please keep in mind that the only OS that is currently supported is Linux.

Hey thanks for your response. I've WSL installed on my machine as well. If i enable my virtual environment in WSL inside windows mounted disc, do you think it'd work?
