Hi Bruce!

Thank you for your fast and kind answer.

I have one more detailed question that I forgot to ask..

The main reason I want to update freesurfer is to use better hippocampal subfield and I want to make the subfield based on my previous data (in the older version freesurfer path)

I expected to do recon-all without -all option (but only with hippocampal subfield option) in the new version because I've already done "recon-all -subjid ${subject} -all -hippo-subfields" in the older version.

Can I do it with new version installed in a new location?

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Joonyoung.

Hi Joonyoung

you can just install the new version in a new location and point your path at it instead of the older version.

cheers
Bruce

Hello!

I'm Joonyoung Kang, a graduate student in neuroscience.

I've been using freesurfer over an year and I realized that I've used an old version of it.

So I decided to update freesurfer and I couldn't find a way to do that.

Do I just have to re-install the new version of freesurfer?

If so, do I have to make a backup for my previous data in freesurfer folders?

Thank you!

p.s.
I'm currently using MacOS X (10.11.6),
freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0, and
Xquartz 2.7.11

Sincerely,

Joonyoung Kang.
