This instructs WSL users they need to install /usr/bin/ape in order to use cosmo-binfmt.service.
I'm not an expert on αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε's or binfmt_misc, but I needed to install the APE loader to /usr/bin/ape as suggested in the Linux troubleshooting section in order to get cosmo-binfmt.service to work on my WSL 2 Ubuntu installation.
I also added the --now flag to the systemctl enable command for convenience.
The Linux troubleshooting section adds entries with both MZqFpD and jartsr as magic strings, so it's tempting to do the same in cosmo-binfmt.service for consistency, but I didn't need the jartsr entry for the Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct.F16.llamafile I tested this with, so I'm guessing that's only necessary for legacy executables and left it out.
@jart Does this change make sense to you? I could submit a PR to update the https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan README to suggest adding the cosmo-binfmt.service too. It's nice to be able to support both APE and Windows binaries on WSL.
