External Email - Use Caution
We don’t expect things to work reliably with 8G total RAM for the machine. The host machine itself will always consume some memory when running its OS, probably up to a few Gig, leaving even less than 8G to be used for running the VM with freesurfer. The Virtualbox VM is no longer available because the security/login credentials were compromised on this list. Since you are on Windows, you could try using the windows OS built in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). We have some notes about setting that up at, https://secure-web.cisco.com/15CztkRxVJ7Ddir4MS_9Arksy0DkD_t2mgoGcHYmhJKK5Ls... But you would still likely run into the same issues consistent with having less than 8G of RAM to run Ubuntu Linux in WSL (instead of VirtualBox) + running freesurfer. - R.

But I have few problems.First, I do not have the access to the compressed VM Image file (FS_7_3_2_course_ubuntu_18_04_06.ova.7z), is it still possible to have an access to that ? Second, I've seen that it also requires a login password for the "Developer" account. Is it possible to also have the password ?Finally, I have a 8Go RAM, even if a 16Go is recommended, will it be able to run Freesurfer ? Thank you for your help.Best regards,Liouda_______________________________________________Freesurfer mailing listFreesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.eduhttps://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
