External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Alexandra

Please let us know if you are on an Intel or a newer Mac with an arm processor, e.g., M1, M2 chip.  You could send along a screen shot of what "About this Mac" displays.

Per the "Important Note" at the bottom of the freesurfer release page, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/rel7downloads, you may not get exactly the same (floating point) results when running v6 on a different/newer version of MacOS.

Hi

 

I ran recon-all on an external server using the version 6. I recently downloaded the v6 on my Mac v12.6. I was able to set a home directory but get a ‘permission denied’ error when typing ‘$FREESURFER_HOME’ (but have the permissions/sudo). I also can’t open Freeview: by double clicking on the app, the GUI crashes, or by typing ‘freeview’ in the terminal I get a PETSC error. 

According to some previous forum threads, I’m thinking of downloading the v7 but would like to validate that it’s OK when using recon-all v6 files.

 

Thank you for your support,

 

Alexandra
