Install FAST on Linux

To install FAST on Ubuntu Linux (18.04 or newer), first make sure you have all the necessary requirements installed.

Then, download the debian installer (fast_ubuntu18.04_X.X.X.deb) from the release page. Install the package:

sudo dpkg -i fast_ubuntu18.04_X.X.X.deb

FAST will then be installed to /opt/fast/

To test if your FAST installation works, you can the following:

# Download the test data (~2GB), it will be downloaded to /home/<your username>/FAST/data/
cd /opt/fast/bin/
./downloadTestData
# Run an example
./importImageFromFile

An ultrasound image should now appear on your screen.

Troubleshoot

If the installer fails you can download .tar.xz file instead, and just extract it to anywhere on your drive.

Uninstall

To uninstall FAST:

sudo apt remove fast

To delete the test data and any cached data, delete the folder /home/'your username'/FAST/ as well.
