Fix Permissions

It is happening because WoeUSB running under /snap "partition", to fix this, just copy it to a different location, for example:

sudo cp -v /snap/woe-usb/21/bin/woeusb /usr/bin/

Usage

sudo /usr/bin/woeusb --device PATHTO.iso /dev/sdb --target-filesystem NTFS

Note: Make sure to change PATHTO.iso to the desired image, and /dev/sdb to the correct USB device (you can use sudo blkid to see your devices), and NTFS, otherwise, see the supported list.
