I tried installing FSL in my Mac, but had installation error. I have tried installing Quartz software, and it didn't help me either. Kindly help me in this regard.

ERROR occurred during installation!
This command returned an error: /Users/niranjan/fsl/bin/mamba env update -n base -f /private/var/folders/gt/4vm51s9s169c1zsj1bm1qhc40000gn/T/tmp06t7a8hv/fsl-6.0.6.2_macos-64.yml

Hi Niranjan,

There can be multiple factors why the installation failed but your issue headline (Mac Ventura) makes me think that its not necessarily Quartz causing the issue (but it still can) because if it is, the error will appear in the post installation i.e., when you are already running fsl from the terminal.

To rule out some potential causes, you have to check if you have an updated python installed in the system. Actually, fsl python library suggests python version 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 based on the documentation (https://pypi.org/project/fslpy/). I believe python.org 

Another important thing to consider is to execute running the fslinstaller as an administrator.

It would also help if you know the content of fsl-6.0.6.2_macos-64.yml

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I am having a similar issue with installing FSL in MacOS 12.6. Miniconda installation fails. Screenshot attached. I have xquartz and Python3 installed.
The command to install fsl is: python3 fslinstaller.py


Any input is appreciated.

Hello Kavita,

Would you be able to post fslinstaller_wci59cn3.log? This might give a clue as to what causes the issue. Thanks.

Hi Kavita,
You can install miniconda first. Feel free to check log file as well.
Many Thanks,
Suren

The log file contents are attached.
Thank you for looking into this.

I tried that, unfortunately it is the same error.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I tried to install fsl on two machines, with the same issue. One machine: Ubuntu 20.04 (focal). Second: Windows 10 with Ubuntu installed from Windows Store.

Error: "This command returned an error: home/$user/fsl/bin/mamba env update -n base -f /tmp/tmp0ceysaja/fsl-6.0.6.3_linux-64.yml"

I tried to run the script with python 2.7, 3.7 and 3.10 and with/without admin rights (sudo). I tried to update the system, also did not work.

If anyone have any idea, I would appreciate it. 

Kind regards,
P

Has anyone any clue about this error?

I encountered the same error on a macbook m1 Ventura 13.4.1, installing the fsl-6.0.7_macos-M1. 

The log is as it follows: "

I tried using Python3 (different versions) and Python2.7.

Thank you for any suggestion.

Was this ever solved? I'm getting the same error now on Sonoma 14.1.1
