### Education
Another large focus of this working group is developing programming literacy among WIN members, to support users in creating robust code to run their analysis. Significant efforts have been made to update the [FSL training material](https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fslcourse/), which is now available for free both internally and externally, and has been updated to include basic training in Unix command line access. The FSL course is being run remotely and at reduced registration rates for the first time in 2020, for improved accessibility and inclusivity.
### FSL - the FMRIB Software Library
FSL 6.1.0 (due to be released in the second half of 2022) will be based on the [`conda`](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) environment and package manager. Conda makes installing FSL, and reproducing a FSL installation straightforward. Conda also allows you to install only the tools you need, instead of a full FSL installation, which is useful for containerising your analysis pipeline. More details can be found [https://git.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/conda/docs/](here).
### Other software libraries
A number of open source Python-based software libraries are actively developed by WIN members, which aim to make it easy to script your analyses.
- The [`fslpy`](https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fsl/fslpy/) library contains functionality for calling FSL routines from Python, working with linear and non-linear transformations, and loading/saving neuroimaging data files.
- The [`file-tree`](https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/ndcn0236/file-tree/) library allows you to de-couple the structure of your data set from your code, making it very easy to define the inputs and outputs of your data processing pipeline.
- The [`pipe-tree`](https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/ndcn0236/pipe-tree/) library is a lightweight framework for building processing pipelines in a declarative manner.
- [`FSLeyes`](https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fsl/fsleyes/fsleyes/userdoc/) is known as a NIFTI image viewer, but can also be scripted, and used to programmatically generate screenshots.
