wpe should be installed in one of these places
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
if installed elsewere, do a symlink of the 'asset'-folder to /usr/local/bin/wpe & run wpe by folder
./linux-wallpaperengine --screen-root eDP-1 ~/backgrounds/1845706469/
