The setup assistant is blocking when Blender cannot be found on the Manager. Since the Manager itself doesn't need to run Blender, it would be nice if this wouldn't block. Maybe some "I know what I'm doing" button would help.

Note that putting something like this in a file flamenco-manager.yaml next to the Flamenco Manager executable will work as a temporary workaround:

_meta:
  version: 3
manager_name: Flamenco Manager
database: flamenco-manager.sqlite
listen: :8080
autodiscoverable: true
local_manager_storage_path: ./flamenco-manager-storage
shared_storage_path: /mnt/shared/flamenco
shaman:
  enabled: true
task_timeout: 10m0s
worker_timeout: 1m0s
blocklist_threshold: 3
task_fail_after_softfail_count: 3
variables:
  blender:
    values:
      - platform: linux
        value: blender
      - platform: windows
        value: blender
      - platform: darwin
        value: blender
  blenderArgs:
    values:
      - platform: all
        value: -b -y

On Windows, be sure to turn off Shaman:

shaman:
  enabled: false
