I am reviving this thread because I ran into the same problem though in a new installation and under different circumstances.

So I just installed AFNI on a windows computer, using instructions from
[afni.nimh.nih.gov]
and
[afni.nimh.nih.gov]

The installation went kind of OK, bdrm would not install despite trying the suggested fix (If you are using Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL), and/or if your ‘brms’ package fails to install (as checked in the “Evaluation” step below)...), but I googled around, tried other solutions, and ultimately
afni_system_check.py -check_all said:

=========================  summary, please fix:  =========================
*  just be aware: login shell 'bash', but our code examples use 'tcsh'

But if I try:
afni

I get

Precompiled binary linux_ubuntu_16_64: Nov 12 2020 (Version AFNI_20.3.02 'Vespasian')


** Version check disabled: AFNI_VERSION_CHECK forbids
Thanks go to MM Klosek for inspiration

Initializing: X11Error: Can't open display: :0.0
++ AFNI is detached from terminal.

And yes I did start VcXsrv \ XLaunch prior to starting Ubuntu.

Here is other possibly relevant info:

Windows

Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.20262 Build 20262

wsl --status

Default Distribution: Ubuntu-18.04
Default Version: 2
Windows Subsystem for Linux was last updated on 11/26/2020

I did run

echo "export DISPLAY=:0.0" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "setenv DISPLAY :0.0" >> ~/.cshrc
echo "export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "setenv NO_AT_BRIDGE 1" >> ~/.cshrc

and closed Ubuntu terminal afterwards (also restarted the computer)

$ echo $DISPLAY

:0.0

echo $PATH

I would be grateful for any suggestions how to fix it.

I also have an unrelated question:
The instructions for installing AFNI on windows only mention Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. But after I installed specifically Ubuntu 18.04 and AFNI, I saw that you are also providing instructions for installing AFNI on Ubuntu 20.04. Is there any reason why one should not install AFNI on Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows/WSL - or is it just an oversight and the link to 20.04 instructions has not been added to Windows instructions?

P.S. funny I am posting exactly 2 years after the previous post in the thread
