Dear sir
SCT is a very excellent toolbox for MR image processing, and I do grateful for your hardworks.
Now I have promblems when install SCT on win 10 with ubuntu. Though carefully following instructions, installation process failed.
“yes | ./install_sct”

Failed running pip install: 2"

hope for your suggestions!

Hi Felix!

Welcome to the forums, and thank you for your question. This issue is likely caused by a slow or unreliable internet connection. Could you please try and run the installation script once more to see if it the error happens again?

Kind regards,
Joshua

Hi Mr.Joshua!

Thanks for your reply! I have tried four times but still failed to intall. Maybe I should try next time or try docker.
Thanks again!

Felix

Thank you for letting us know!

I have an idea of how to possibly fix this. It involves a small change to the install script. To do this:

  • Open the install_sct file in a text editor
  • Use Ctrl+F to find the line “pip install -r "$REQUIREMENTS_FILE" &&
  • Change the line to: “pip install -r "$REQUIREMENTS_FILE" --timeout 1000 &&
  • Try running the installation script once more.

We are also tracking this issue on the GitHub repository for the project here: https://github.com/neuropoly/spinalcordtoolbox/issues/3157

Kind regards,
Joshua

Hi Felix! I noticed you made another post on the forum about SCT usage. Does this mean that your installation problem here has been solved?

If so, could you share what worked for you?

Thank you kindly,
Joshua

Hi @felixi, just following up to see if you still have an issue, or if we can close this ticket?

no news from the user after 2 months so i’m tagging this issue as “solved”
