Hi @bin_liu,

I expect that the problem is related to using the miniconda version shipped with FSL. I assume that’s what you’re using given that the FSL channel pops up first on the list – you can verify with `which conda`. I have no idea how the FSL devs have set up that environment, but I would guess that they have decided to lock it down to avoid users introducing conflicts in FSL by installing other packages within their own miniconda environments. I think you’ll need to install another fresh conda environment outside of FSL, and try in there.

Note that the presence of the FSL conda command in your `PATH` suggests that your FSL install isn’t set up as expected, and this may well conflict with your attempts at using a different conda environment. See [this recent post on the topic](https://community.mrtrix.org/t/mrtrix3tissue-installation-error/7156/3) for details.

All the best,  
Donald
