Hi Andrew

Thanks for the suggestions. I removed freesurfer and reinstalled just 7.1.1.

When I try to run the original patch you suggested I still get permissions problems, even with sudo.

(base) jameshartzell@Jamess-MacBook-Pro ~ % which freesurfer
/Applications/freesurfer/7.1.1/bin/freesurfer

(base) jameshartzell@Jamess-MacBook-Pro freesurfer % cd $FREESURFER_HOME/bin

(base) jameshartzell@Jamess-MacBook-Pro bin % sudo mv recon-all recon-all.backup

Password:

(base) jameshartzell@Jamess-MacBook-Pro bin % sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freesurfer/freesurfer/fs-7.1/scripts/recon-all > recon-all
zsh: permission denied: recon-all

Here's hoping you can send another fix!

Cheers

James
