Experiencing Error in Script Execution.

[KilianMaes]

Hi,

As it is specified in the readme of this repository (section "Installation"), falcon should be run on Linux or OSX but not Windows (as explained by @bittremieux in issue #9). Many Linux distributions are freely available and can be installed on a computer (possibly in dual boot with windows) or executed within a virtual machine (see VirtualBox).

Best regards,

Kilian

The error you see is because the input directory has not been specified correctly. In the example on the main page the directory with peak files is peak/, in your case this would be E:\MS_RAW_Files\..., so without the peak/ prefix.

However, even when specifying the input peak files correctly, falcon indeed only runs on Linux or OS X, not on Windows. Possibly the Windows Subsystem for Linux could be used to run falcon in your Windows environment without needing a dual-boot system, but this functionality has not been tested.
