FSL installation in Ubuntu FAILED message

I am a traditional Windows user and therefore you have to excuse me for my lack of experience with other OS. I installed Ubuntu in order to install FSL in my computer (seems the Windows installation failed so I tried this). However, the download goes right, but at the end it says "[FAILED] Unable to unpack FSL". How can I solve it?

Thanks a lot

FSL requires python2.7 which can be installed in Ubuntu with sudo apt update && sudo apt install python2.7

FSL is installed to the /usr/local/ directory by default, so instead of starting the FSL install script with python fslinstaller.py start the install script with sudo python fslinstaller.py, otherwise you will get an error message because you haven't given the FSL install script permission to unpack FSL to the /usr/local/ directory.

When the FSL installation is finished, bring up a simple GUI which is just a menu of the main individual FSL GUI tools by opening the terminal and running fsl.
