External Email - Use Caution        

Good afternoon, 

I downloaded Freesurfer 7.1.1 and am trying to open HCP .gii files in Freeview. I tried updating Freeview (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/UpdateFreeview) using the instructions for MacOS but it fails:

Mac

  1. Go into your $FREESURFER_HOME and create a backup of your existing freeview app (this may require sudo access): 

    cd $FREESURFER_HOME
    cp Freeview.app Freeview-backup.app
  2. Download the dev, standalone freeview tarball from here

  3. Untar freeview within your $FREESURFER_HOME (this may require sudo): 

    cd $FREESURFER_HOME
    tar -xzvf /path/to/freesurfer-darwin-macOS_HighSierra-dev-freeview.tar.gz
  4. IMPORTANT: If you are replacing freeview in a freesurfer release LESS than 7.0, then you must also remove the line "source $FREESURFER_HOME/sources.csh" from the $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/freeview script



The tar file that downloads is " freesurfer-darwin-macOS-dev-freeview.tar" is this file correct? My Mac is a MacOS Sierra (not HighSierra), version 10.12.6. Is it possible for me to get a file that is compatible with my Mac?

Thank you for your help!!!
