Problem with Mrtrix3 installation

Dear @TR-Abir

I didn’t look at the exact problem you have, but something you can try is running MRtrix using containers (Running MRtrix3 using containers — MRtrix 3.0 documentation). If you don’t know much about containers, you’re welcome to check the brilliant introductory video on this page: https://www.aedapt.net/about

The issue is more complicated however if you wish to run GUI (as Windows does not support X11 graphics natively). One solution I can recommend is Neurodesktop. It is a lightweight and easy installable Linux virtual machine that includes X11 graphics and was built especially for neuroscience data analysis. It comes with MRtrix3 built it, so you don’t need to install anything on top of it. To install Neurodesktop, just go here https://neurodesk.github.io/ and press on Windows.

When you have neurodesktop running, you can find MRtrix in the start menu under Neurodesk → Diffusion Imaging → mrtrix3 (check here for which MRtrix versions are available: Applications | NeuroDesk)

I’m contributing to both neurodesktop and MRtrix3, so you’re welcome to post here any questions you might have on using MRtrix3 within neurodesktop.

Best,
Oren
