Hi Matt,

The problems I’ve been having with Freesurfer are endless lol. I can’t figure out how to get it installed on my CentOS Linux. The tar.gz extraction doesn’t work so I can’t get it installed.

So, that command doesn’t have to be used in installation? I am SO bad at Linux it’s unbelievable. Thanks for that though.

Just do it before you try to run any of the FreeSurfer programs.  What issues are you having?  I have FreeSurfer installed on a number of Ubuntu machines.

Peace,

Matt.

Hello.

I am going to attempt to install FS on Ubuntu, but just had a quick question before I start. On the Download page on the wiki site, it states the following:

On Ubuntu, you will need to do the following:

cd /usr/lib

ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3

When exactly does this need to be done? I know this probably sounds like a really stupid question, but I have had major issues with installing FS and want to make sure I know exactly what needs doing and when it needs to be done. So I’d really appreciate some insight. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Fatima
