Hi @Mohamad_Eshaghi_Gorj,

Do you know what type of server your WSL instance is configured with?

We have had several other forum users run into this issue while using a headless WSL instance (see forum post [here](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/qiime-tools-view-on-headless-server/113/2) for reference). I would check out the suggestions in that thread for some options that you have to resolve this, if you are in fact on a headless WSL instance.

Hope this helps! Cheers 🦎
