Freesurfer install on Ubuntu Linux in WSL
Please read the latest MS documentation about how to setup WSL (version2 as of this writing) on your Windows machine, MS WSL Dcoumentation. Once you are able to bring up a terminal window in WSL's pre-installed version of Ubuntu linux you can proceed to setting up the Freesurfer environment. As of this writing, WSL should install Ubuntu 22 Linux and so the install of a Freesurfer Ubuntu 22 package is listed below.
The commands below shows how to download and install the freesurfer package. That is followed by notes on setting up a 3rd party X-windows server on the host Windows machine using Xming. If you do not need to view any brain images, e.g., through Freeview, then there is no need to setup the X-Windows server.
We do not advise manually trying to install packages in the Ubuntu Linux image in order to get freesurfer to run. Please allow the installer to try and determine what packages are needed on the system and install them.
