I have just installed FSL on Ubuntu 18.04.05 following all the steps from the FSL tutorial. I never used Ubuntu before, but everything seemed to go fine.
Just to check, even when I run the command python "/mnt/c/Users/<WindowsUserName>/Downloads/fslinstaller.py"
with my username it mentions that fsl is already installed.
However, when I try to run fsl, by typing for example 'fsl' in the command line in Ubuntu, it says that the command was not found. Any idea why this may be?
EDIT: https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FslInstallation/Windows
This is the link of the tutorial. I basically did all the steps starting from: wsl --install -d Ubuntu-18.04
and everything worked.
When I got here: Try running the fslmaths, fsl, and fsleyes commands
though, it tells me that it can not find the commands.
I have no idea how Ubuntu or Linux work, but I thought that maybe, as I did everything from the root@, and at the last step they say FSL must be installed into the WSL file system - do not try and install FSL into a location in your Windows file system. The safest option is to accept the default location, which is /usr/local/fsl/.
, which is also what I did, it may mean that if I simply open Ubuntu and run fsl
, it won't work? Maybe I need to get to the WSL file system, set the path there, and then run? I do not think that I understand this part and why it does not work.
