To install fluka2021.2-linux-gfor64bit-11.2-AA.tar.gz on a Windows 10 machine using WSL with Ubuntu 20.04, ensure that the FLUKA data files are downloaded and the directory /home/emil/fluka/pwxs exists. Users suggest checking resources like the Fluka Docker guide and GitHub repositories for additional installation instructions. Installing Docker may be necessary for certain setups, but specific steps for FLUKA installation should be followed closely. Since FLAIR is working, the FLUKA installation process should be similar, though it may include unique requirements. Properly setting up the environment is crucial for successful installation and operation.

TL;DR
Fluka installation problem
What path should I follow to install fluka2021.2-linux-gfor64bit-11.2-AA.tar.gz? I'm a Windows 10 user. I installed WSL I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on wsl.I installed flair and it works. But the fluka does not work and I get an error related to the installation.
:~$ $FLUPRO/flutil/rfluka -h
$TARGET_MACHINE = Linux
$FLUPRO = /home/emil/fluka
Are you sure you downloaded the FLUKA data files?
Apparently the directory /home/emil/fluka/pwxs does not exist

So, one is using a Win10 machine with a Linux virtual environment (Windows Subsystem for Linux) under which one installed Fluka?

I have not done that in the past, but perhaps there is some useful information here

I'm not sure what one means by 'install this docker'. The page goes through steps.

Since one installed FLAIR and it works, you should have similar steps to install FLUKA, but perhaps there are some steps unique to FLUKA.

I will probably do much the same in future.

Thread 'Creating the geometry using MNCPX VisEd'
I'm working on the MSFR design and want to calculate keff. I'm trying to use the MNCPX VisEd program included with MCNP 6.1 to create my geometry. The reactor I'm designing doesn't contain fuel rods or moderator structures. The molten salt fuel circulates within the cylindrical reactor core. I'm having problems creating the geometry using MNCPX VisEd. VisEd allows for easy drawing of nested sphere, cylinder, or rectangular prism cells. However, when you want to draw a torus section within...
