Installation error

Dear all,
I am also new to this forum. I’m bothered by the similar problems of checking related programs. After looking up message board, I have tried to repair as the following “sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0”. But this still don’t work. What went wrong?
Thanks a million.

Hi-

We haven’t put up official install instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 yet, but several people have chipped in advice, including this recent one:
https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/afni/community/board/read.php?1,158983,158983#msg-158983

Please give that a go and see if that solves the issues.

Thanks,
pt
