Sorry, there are a lot of things going on down there, it is hard to figure out what is happening. It looks like the sourcing of SetUpFreeSurfer.sh is failing is that right? Then it looks like the copy (cp) is failing. Then when you run mri_convert, it looks like another bash error. It looks like mri_convert is trying to unpack it as a diffusion file and that may be what is causing the final error. Try
export FS_LOAD_DWI=0

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are doing well!

I am trying to recon-all a DICOM file, for the ultimate hope of being able to identify the location of M1 via parcellation. I have successfully been able to do so for 2 subjects already, though for some reason I am having a problem with the MRI convert stage from the .dcm file to the .nii.gz file. I copied/pasted the terminal shell I tried performing above. I am using a Mac (Yosemite 10.10.5) with FreeSurfer V6.0.0

Further, I think it might be helpful to note that I am a very extreme novice in computer science/coding--I have completed recon-all's of 2 subjects by following, essentially line-by-line, the "FreeSurfer Download and Install Page," and this process was the first time I ever used the terminal shell. (In this way, I would absolutely LOVE if anyone might be able to explain where I went wrong as simplistically as possible).

Thank you all so much for the help- I hope you have a great start to the week!
