Hi @acarter24, sorry for the delayed reply - looks like I wasn't watching this repo for all activity so didn't get a notification. We'll have a look into this and leave any updates here.

@gabrielciobotaru77 Any ideas on this?

Hi @acarter24!
Unfortunately, the log provided doesn't provide me enough information about the problem, but I will give you some best practices when dealing with Windows, WSL2 and Docker

• don't mix NTFS (Windows) file system with the WSL2 - linux one. Always work in WSL2. Start the bash, create folders from bash, run meltano install from there. Permissions there are different. cd ~ and then pwd command should output /home/
• I assume that the Docker Desktop for Windows has the WSL2 integration option enabled for the Ubuntu distribution you are using.
• inside WSL2 bash, don't start anything from /mnt/c/ folder. Always run commands from your home ~ folder or relative to that.
• I also assume that inside your home folder ~ you have created additional folders... probably is something like this ~/projects/meltano/empiric_meltano_project and you are starting meltano invoke matatika lab command from that folder.
