Hi,
I was using both the pipeline version as well as GUI version, and met the same problem. The following is the prompt system gave me, but I don't know how to solve this.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jimmy/.local/bin/miRge3.0", line 8, in
sys.exit(main())
File "/home/jimmy/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mirge/main.py", line 42, in main
check_dependencies(args, str(runlogFile))
File "/home/jimmy/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mirge/libs/miRgeEssential.py", line 56, in check_dependencies
samtools = subprocess.run(str(samtoolsCommand), shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 505, in run
stdout, stderr = process.communicate(input, timeout=timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 1154, in communicate
stdout, stderr = self._communicate(input, endtime, timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 2059, in _communicate
stdout = self._translate_newlines(stdout,
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 1031, in _translate_newlines
data = data.decode(encoding, errors)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xab in position 286: invalid start byte

I wonder if there is any solution to it? Or it is due to my file's error?
