Using memes with WSL

[eladzis]

Hello I'm trying to use the library on a windows OS with MEME installed via WSL I can run the stremecommand on the bash command line but when I try to use it through R it doesn't find the command:

Error in process_initialize(self, private, command, args, stdin, stdout, …: ! Native call to processx_exec failed Caused by error in chain_call(c_processx_exec, command, c(command, args), pty, pty_options, …: ! Command '\wsl.localhost/Ubuntu-20.04/home/user/meme/bin/streme' not found @win/processx.c:982 (processx_exec)

Backtrace:

1. memes::runStreme(sequ_1_test, "shuffle")
2. memes:::runStreme.default(sequ_1_test, "shuffle")
3. processx::run(command, flags, spinner = TRUE, error_on_status = F…

   11. | local h(simpleError(msg, call))
   12. | processx:::throw_error(err, parent = e)

I'd appreciate any help you can give,

Are you running R inside WSL or from windows? In order to use the meme suite features of memes, R must be running inside WSL.

If you are running R in WSL and you think this is a different issue, could you post the output of sessionInfo()?

Also if you could post the output of check_meme_install() that would be helpful.

When I ran the library through the wsl it worked Thanks
