Openwhisk on-premise install error - openwhisk

Question

I tried to install an openwhisk VM on a windows 10 machine.
Cloned the git repo, cd'd to openwhisk/tools/vagrant and run ./hello.
Many, many minutes later, I get the following error.
==> default: :index
==> default: :goPrepare
==> default: FAILED
==> default: FAILURE:
==> default: Build failed with an exception.
==> default:
==> default: * What went wrong:
==> default: Execution failed for task ':goPrepare'.
==> default: > Create symbolic link at /home/vagrant/openwhisk/bin/openwhisk-cli/.gogradle/project_gopath/src/github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli
failed
Though I can find the index task in build.gradle, I can not find the goPrepare task under openwhisk-cli or the parent directories.
I presume this command was run on the newly created VM as I get
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.
But running vagrant ssh does log me on to the VM.
Looking at the vagrantfile, there is
# Clone and Build CLI
echo "`date`: build-cli-start" >> /tmp/vagrant-times.txt
cd ${OPENWHISK_HOME}/bin
rm -rf openwhisk-cli
su vagrant -c 'git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli.git openwhisk-cli'
cd openwhisk-cli
su vagrant -c './gradlew releaseBinaries'
echo "`date`: build-cli-end" >> /tmp/vagrant-times.txt
The log in /tmp shows build-cli-start but not build-cli-end.
The releaseBinaries task is in build.gradle but no links there.
Has anyone else come across this error? Does anyone know where the goPrepare task is?
Regards
