1) Install the 7.3.2 release listed above.  It will be installed as /Applications/freesurfer/7.3.2

2)  Open a new terminal window and run the bash shell as,

$ arch -arm64 /bin/bash

3) Set FS_LICENSE to point to the license.txt file you downloaded after registering via the online form at https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html.  For example, it could be in your home directory as $HOME/license.txt.  It can be anywhere but you just have to set FS_LICENSE to its absolute path and test it can be read.

$ ls $HOME/license.txt
/Users/<your userid>/license.txt
$ export FS_LICENSE=$HOME/license.txt
$ head -1 $FS_LICENSE
you@youremail.something     <— email you used to register with

4) Setup the environment,

$ export FREESURFER_HOME=/Applications/freesurfer/7.3.2
$ source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz
SUBJECTS_DIR      /Applications/freesurfer/7.3.2/subjects
MNI_DIR           /Applications/freesurfer/7.3.2/mni

5) Try running freeview from the command line w/o any arguments to see if it opens an empty window,

$ freeview

6)  If that worked, quit freeview and then run freeview from the command line again to open one of the provided volumes in the 7.3.2 release,

$ freeview $SUBJECTS_DIR/bert/mri/brain.mgz

7) If that worked, then try running freeview from the command line on one of your own volume or surface files.

Hello,
 
I have a MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.1 OS, 64 GB, SMC Apple M1 Max.
I recently started installing the freesurfer software but unfortunately, a simple volume loading into the freeview crashes without displaying any image.
I have tried installing various python versions (2,3) and modifying the PATH but nothing seems to help. Now, I wonder if the software is compatible with my mac. Is there any way I can make it work on my system? Many thanks in advance for your help.
 
Best,
Nasim Adnani,
