Kristina, I do not know what virtual machine manager you intend to use. If you will use Oracle's VirtualBox I would like to share my recent experience with you. I tried a updated CentOS6 virtual machine with Freesurfer 5.2 running under Fedora 18 as host but I had problems during recon-all tests. I also downloaded an old Xubuntu virtual machine file with Freesurfer 5.1 from Freesurfer ftp site and no luck again. I decided to buy a second hard disk and installed CentOS6 in this disk making a dual boot system (Fedora 18 and CentOS6). Freesurfer runs over CentOS6 with no problem in my machine. So I guess the problem was with VirtualBox. With Freesurfer 5.3 release it runs over Fedora 18 too. So if you find problems with your virtual machine best chances are the VM manager is the culprit. If possible I guess running Freesurfer over CentOS6 in a real machine would be better. Marcos Em Ter, 2013-05-21 às 12:28 -0700, Kristina Nalbandian escreveu:
Hello
I am interested in downloading the FreeSurfer v5.3.0. I will be running it on a virtual machine platform in Windows (xubuntu). Are there any specific instructions for this on the FreeSurfer website because I noticed it runs on CentOS 6 x86_64 (64b). Or does the download come with the virtual machine?
Thank you for your help, Kristina
