Install Afni on RHEL 9.0

[sameera2004]

Hello,

I am trying to install afni on RHEL 9.0 . I don't see instructions for RHEL 9.0. Can you instruct me to install afni on our server?

Thank you
Sameera

Hi @sameera2004. We do not currently have such a system to verify with, but if you do not mind some iteration, we can see what libraries you might need.
The closest instructions are for CentOS 7, so you can start with them (that is probably the package you would want to try, as well). You can install libraries via src/other_builds/OS_notes.linux_centos_7.txt, or you can see the "prerequisites" section on the RH install page: https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/background_install/install_instructs/steps_linux_RH.html. Then continue with "Install AFNI binaries" section, or else run commands like these to install the binaries (under /usr/local/AFNIbin, for example):

curl -O https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/bin/misc/@update.afni.binaries
tcsh @update.afni.binaries -no_recur -package linux_centos_7_64 \
                           -bindir /usr/local/AFNIbin

For the users, then set up their PATHs and have them test using:
afni_system_check.py -check_all
You can send us the output of that for comment (or via the AFNI message board, or use that route to send it as a personal message if you prefer).
I expect there will be some missing libraries to install, that differ from the CentOS 7 set. So it might take a couple of steps to sort that out, but it is okay.
