Flake8 and Litner8 Spawn Command in Atom even though PATH variable correctly set

[TheEmirGroup]

I seem to be having problems with Flake8 and Linter. I have tried many things, the PATH variable is correctly set and the command _where flake 8 returns the path to the executable which is in my $PATH has also been set correctly as the printouts will show.

I would love to use flake8 but cannot seem to even though the package is installed via ATOM from the install toolbar under File>>Settings>but cannot seem to get past the SPAWN Command issues and as a result Linter fails to installs when I open a .py file.

Please can someone in dummy speak help me sort this out to improve my coding capabilities in ATOM

Additionally when I try to do type this
12:23 AMpip install flake8
bash: /c/Users/yusuf/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/pip: Permission denied

I am not sure if this means that I don't have flake8 installed. As you can see I am using Windows. I have also installed Litner-Flake8 via the install GUI inside ATOM
