Hi experts

I would like to run the response function, however, it showed some errors when processing. Please have a look at the following command and looking forward to your reply! Many thanks in advance!

That sounds like a mismatch between the version of your dwi2response script and the dwi2fod executable that it calls. The dwi2fod call will now expect either csd or mmst_csd as its second argument, which is not the case here. So it looks like your dwi2response script is quite a bit older than your dwi2fod executable. Do you have different versions of MRtrix3 installed in different places? Maybe there’s an old version listed in your PATH that you’ve forgotten about? What does this say:

echo $PATH
