Title:
:red_question_mark: crewai not found in PowerShell/WSL after uv tool install on Windows

Body:

Hi everyone, I need help with installing CrewAI on Windows using PowerShell/WSL.

:small_blue_diamond: What I Did

I installed the uv tool manager and then installed CrewAI as follows:

# In PowerShell (Windows):
uv tool install crewai --upgrade

Then in WSL (Ubuntu):

uv --version
uv tool install crewai

It says crewai is already installed, but when I try to run:

crewai create crew my_project
# or in WSL
uv run crewai create crew my_project

I get:

error: Failed to spawn: `crewai`
Caused by: No such file or directory (os error 2)

:small_blue_diamond: What I Checked

Inside WSL, this folder exists:

~/.local/share/uv/tools/crewai

But there is no bin/crewai executable. The tools/bin directory does not exist at all.

So it appears CrewAI was installed into tools/crewai, but no runnable CLI was created.

:small_blue_diamond: My Environment

  • Windows 10/11

  • PowerShell console

  • WSL Ubuntu

  • Python 3.11 inside WSL

  • uv is installed and available in both PowerShell and WSL

:red_question_mark: Questions

  1. Has anyone successfully installed CrewAI under Windows/PowerShell/WSL?

  2. Is there a known fix so that crewai becomes a runnable command in PowerShell/WSL?

  3. Should CrewAI provide native Windows support or a proper CLI for WSL?

:small_blue_diamond: What I Tried

uv tool remove crewai
uv tool install crewai --force

…but still no crewai binary appeared.

Any help would be greatly appreciated — thanks in advance! :folded_hands:
