Dear all,
Thanks for the prompt responses to our query.
Where do we create the .licence file? in the applications folder or the freesurfer main folder.
in the directory you put in $FREESURFER_HOME (would be the freesurfer main folder, just I always install freesurfer outside of applications so I do not know the installers default behaviour).
In addition, we are also having difficulty setting up the FREESURFER_Home enviroment. When we type the command: setenv FREESURFER_HOME</Applications/freesurfer>freesurfer, it retuens a %, but when we put in the command "source $FREESURFER?SetUpFreeSurfer.csh", it returns a "/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh:No such file or directory."
Well, per default the macosx terminal (at least for recent OS versions) uses bash, so you would have to edit .bashrc in your home directory. Please ignore any to verbose description, I just want to cover all bases... open a terminal and type nano ~/.bashrc (the editot nano seems to be part of snowleopard, no idea about older versions) add the following (but replace the directory in FREESURFER_HOME, and define your subjects directory, the doublebuffer flag might or might not speed up certain freesurfer components you just have to try it):
export FREESURFER_HOME=/opt/freesurfer-Darwin-leopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.0.0 . /opt/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh export SUBJECT_DIRS=$HOME/subjects export doublebufferflag=1 then use control x to save and exit the file. Quit and reopen the terminal application to make sure any newly started bash shell will have executed your modified .bashrc.

Hi,
We installed freesurfer on a mac computer but could not find where to paste the license code, thus have difficulty getting the freesurfer running.
Can anyone help, please.
