We don’t release the fsaverage subject alone. You might be able to work some magic with the curl and tar commands to pull and extract just the fsaverage subdirectory from a freesurfer release archive, but I’m not sure how (or if) that can be done. Plus, it still probably requires downloading most or even all of the distribution.

Good afternoon!

I would like to ask if there is there anyway that I would be able to redownload just fsaverage to my WSL without redownloading the whole Freesurfer distribution?

I was trying to understand how to find the location of the output data for recon-all on my windows system, and accidentally deleted the fsaverage folder without understanding it’s importance. Thus, I need just the fsaverage folder. Please let me know, thank you
