I see from https://www.centosblog.com/centos-eol-dates/ that CentOS 6 will no longer be updated as of 11/2020, and similarly for CentOS 7 in 6/2024. It looks like CentOS 8 was released around September of 2019.

While we do not currently build/test on CentOS8, I am sure it will eventually be supported. Given some users will continue to use CentOS 6 even after 11/2020 and that many people have been running the freesurfer 6 release on CentOS6, then even the upcoming freesurfer 7 release is targeting CentOS6, CentOS7 and Ubuntu linux (as well as Mac OS).

There is also currently an Ubuntu 18 VM with freesurfer 6 and the beta release of freesurfer 7 pre-installed which you can find here, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VM_67

External Email - Use Caution
Greetings FreeSurfer team,

I recently upgraded by workstation from Centos 7 to 8.1 as the support for centos 7 will be over soon.

I tried installing freesurfer version 7.0 beta 1 but failed due to some unresolved dependencies (tried on a virtual centos 7 and worked fine) !!

so, when will there be support for centos 8, thank you

Best regards
Mina
