windows apps through vm RDP

anyone gotten

https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
or https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/tree/main

working on bazzite?

can't get either to see the windows VM for some reason

i named both the windows system and the virtual machine as RDPWindows

but i get 
bin/winapps check
RDPWindows is not running, run:
  virsh start RDPWindows
zany130@bazzite:~/Documents/GitHub/winapps$ virsh start RDPWindows
error: failed to get domain 'RDPWindows'

when trying to run winapps

tried
virsh list --all
 Id   Name   State
--------------------


so it seems like virsh is not seeing the vm?

i can boot it fine though in virt-manager

for cassowary it seems to be failing with a freerdp error

Solution
got it to work with out root just needed to 

export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system"


so no need to run as root just clone repo
setup ~/.config/winapps/winapps.conf

export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system"

and then run the script
