External Email - Use Caution
Hello Lukas and thank you for the feedback. The fireants version included in the 8.0.0 silicon Mac release for fspython is I believe an older version because that is what had been tested with and/or is compatible with the other arm64 packages. As far as I know, newer versions of fireants have not been tested. The 8.0.0 Mac/Linux installers were tested with the code that mri_histo_atlas_segment_fireants will download via the instructions, $ cd $BASEPATH… (in Linux): wget https://secure-web.cisco.com/12n1juWI89hxvsaHDfUa2RIDJ71CL6VXTdYe2ZW8P_s8rQN... in MAC): curl -o atlas_simplified.zip https://secure-web.cisco.com/1sEFkCcgarb54UG3YaZK4-VWDWOhf6eZUiWCRhoJQwiVIWS... unzip atlas_simplified.zip The ERC_bayesian_segmentation files are not included because of package/size limitations of the installers. - R.

For example, it attempts to import FireAnts packages that are not included, such as GreedyRegistration from fireants.registration. I then installed FreeSurfer 8 directly from GitHub, which worked. However, as soon as EasyReg started, I encountered a thread lock. This also occurred when trying to run the EasyReg step directly as a terminal command.After that, I attempted the installation on Linux. However, in the latest installation package for Ubuntu 18, the ERC_bayesian_segmentation folder was completely missing. I then installed it again directly from GitHub but ran into a similar issue with EasyReg during the mri_histo_atlas_segment_fireants process, even when using only a single thread.I also tried mri_histo_atlas_segment_fast because my data is 1mm isotropic. However, this also did not work, as it failed when starting the registration with SynthMorph. I was able to resolve this by using the spawn method for multiprocessing, preventing issues when processing both hemispheres simultaneously.Additionally, I noticed that mri_TumorSynth is missing, although it is listed on the FreeSurfer wiki page. I hope it will be available in an updated version of FreeSurfer 8.Thanks in advance!
