I’ve been encountering a problem during the installation after Building MRtrix step. I inserted

$ /usr/bin/python ./configure  
$ /usr/bin/python ./build

which is previously suggested in other topics. (only solution worked in my computer)

since  
$./configure  
$./build

didn’t work at least for me. The error for these lines that I’ve enclosed in the following:

 ![Configure_error](https://community.mrtrix.org/uploads/default/original/1X/c49d503307d2540808db515a9f4b2079a6ffc96a.PNG)

My main question is when I continued with the step:

$./set\_path

I’ve been receiving the following error during the installation :

ERROR: MRtrix3 executables not found in expected location.

This script needs to be run from within the MRtrix3 toplevel directory, AND  
after the build script has successfully completed. In addition, the set\_path  
script should NOT be moved from its original location in the MRtrix3 toplevel  
directory.

It would be really appreciated, if you could suggest some solutions to fix the problem.

Thank you!

I would try

```auto
/usr/bin/python ./set_path

```
