Troubleshooting SMILER for Windows

Line endings

One possible error one might encounter when trying to run SMILER in WSL is an issue with the line endings of the files when trying to run Windows files in Linux.

If you encounter the following error when trying to run SMILER you likely have a line ending issue:

/usr/bin/env: ‘python\r’: No such file or directory

To fix this, sudo install dos2unix using

sudo apt install dos2unix

Then run the following command to convert your file endings to Linux endings

dos2unix **

Quotation mark errors

When running SMILER from the CLI, it seems that it is picky about what type of quotation marks you use. So if your computer defaults to using “”, make sure to use "" to wrap your model names instead.
