Hi everyone,

I recently went 3 times through installing AFNI on Ubuntu 18.04 on WSL1 on Windows 10, and each time I run into a problem with installing brms, which was not solved by the suggested solution, i.e.:

sudo add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5"
sudo add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5"

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y r-cran-rstan r-cran-shinystan r-cran-brms

Somehow (I am a Windows person and most of the time I have no idea what I am doing in Linux) I figured the problem was with r-cran-v8 and/or libnode64.

After some googling, I found a solution that worked for me, so I thought I would share.

Again, I am a Windows person who has no idea what they are doing, so I refuse to take any responsibility if this fries your computer or in the future places all your activations in the ventricles.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cran/v8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnode-dev

which I then followed by

sudo apt install r-cran-rstan
sudo apt install r-cran-shinystan
sudo apt install r-cran-brms

I did them separately to better see if I am running into problems, and if yes, where.

There were no problems, and afni_system_check.py was happy, and afni and suma started.

So here you have it, my contribution to the community, again - no responsibility. Did I say I don't know what I am doing?
