won't detect input file

I'm trying to use rasusa to downsample some Illumina short reads to a smaller coverage using this command here:
docker run quay.io/mbhall88/rasusa -i P2B_R1.fastq.gz P2B_R2.fastq.gz --coverage 5 --genome-size 12m -o P2B_5x_r1.fq.gz P2B_5x_r2.fq.gz
However, I keep getting this error message:
error: Invalid value "P2B_R1.fastq.gz" for '--input <INPUT>...': "P2B_R1.fastq.gz" does not exist
I installed the latest version of rasusa through Docker - following the commands listed on the GitHub page. I used a path at first to find the input files but it gave me that error message so I moved the files to my home directory where I run docker images but that didn't work either. If someone could help me figure out how to fix this error that would be great!

I got it to work! I went back and installed the tool through Git and was able to set the two files to 5x coverage! (I also had to unzip the files, but it worked!)
