Does evSeq support WSL? #36

Closed YTMiiikey closed 2 years ago

YTMiiikey commented 2 years ago

Hi everyone,

I am trying install evSeq on my windows computer within its WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I keep getting errors associated with gtk+, a package seemingly related to GUI. I wonder if evSeq is supposed to support WSL? Is there a way to install a GUI-free version of evSeq? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Tian,

We've never explicitly tested evSeq on WSL2, but there's no reason to think it wouldn't work. I have come across issues with gtk+ when installing evSeq on Linux before that seem to match your problem. Check out the last entry of our troubleshooting section on the wiki (bottom of the page linked here) and see if that helps resolve the problem.

A GUI-free version is something that we've been wanting to put together for a while. We haven't gotten around to it yet, though. Let us know if you can't solve the problem with the troubleshooting guide and that will probably give us a kick to get around to doing it.

Hi Bruce,

It worked after I installed gtk+ following the troubleshooting guide. Thanks so much for your prompt response! I'm looking forward to see my result haha.
