Description

## Problem
Running scripts of MetaStore in WSL might cause problems if the repository was cloned using windows.
## Reason
As git add windows specific line endings to all text files (including shell scripts) shell scripts will throw error messages.
## Possible Solutions
1. Execute git clone inside the WSL.
2. Use e.g. dos2unix on all shell scripts (*.sh).

Research direction

The issue concerns MetaStore shell scripts (*.sh) run from WSL after a Windows clone; start by reproducing the line-ending failure in that setup. Done means the scripts execute successfully without requiring users to convert each script manually; no specific file or test is named.
