Hello everyone
Trying to run q2studio after having natively installed Qiime2 2 Core 2021.11 distribution with miniconda on Ubuntu (WSL 1) and came across an error on the last command to launch the interface
> (qiime2-2021.11) gabgon@DESKTOP-36N8BG7:~/q2studio-2021.11.0$ npm start
>
> > q2studio@2021.11.0 start
> > cross-env NODE\_ENV=production electron -r babel-register build/main.js
>
> /home/gabgon/q2studio-2021.11.0/node\_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldnt find any fix. Anyone has any clue? Thanks

So, just an update.
I ran:
> sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
and now when doing: npm start
i get:
> q2studio@2021.11.0 start
> cross-env NODE\_ENV=production electron -r babel-register build/main.js
Any idea? Thank you all

Hi @gabgon,
Welcome to the :qiime2: forum!
I would actually recommend using our newest QIIME 2 user interface, q2galaxy, over q2studio. Although we do still support this interface, q2galaxy is a much more robust tool. We will be releasing a detailed tutorial that utilizes this interface throughout at the beginning of next week - so look out for that release announcement on the forum, and let us know if you have any questions!
Cheers 🦎
