sys to run ubuntu in WSL #35

Closed dikiprawisuda closed 4 years ago

Hi, I am sorry if this is irrelevant. I found your github in the google search and saying that this is like an upgraded version of system2() caught me. I have been struggling with my ideal of streamlining the computing process using R. I am quite new in the informatics (biology background) so again, sorry if this is out of context. I have a windows desktop with windows subsystem linux, miniconda, and windows terminal installed. I have played with some linux's app (QIIME2) within the windows terminal. But now, I want to run a function (cutadapt()) within R using system2(). It was unsuccessful.

Was it unsuccessful because system2() is essentially running command prompt and deliver the args etc to it? So, as long as I am unable to run cutadapt() within command prompt (Windows), I will not be able to run system2(cutadapt, ...) ? If this is correct, is it possible to change the target, for example from cmd.exe to ubuntu.exe?

Thank you for your attention.

Sorry I don't understand your question. Can you try to include example code illustrating what was unsuccessful?

I am sorry I think it is not suitable to ask about my problem here. I am terribly sorry for this.
