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
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'
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
--------------------
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
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"
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system"


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


export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system"
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system"


and then run the script
