Unfortunately, tensorflow and M1 don’t mix well at the moment. Not sure if there is a universal fix yet.

Rob, do you remember where the mac-specific TF package can be installed from?

Best,

Andrew

Subject: [Freesurfer] SynthSR: Illegal Hardware Instruction

        External Email - Use Caution        

Hello

I have an issue getting SynthSR working with FreeSurfer dev.

I have MacBook Pro with apple M1 chip and MacOS Monterey. 

In bash terminal, after setting up FreeSurfer, and running the SynthSR command, I get this error ‘’Illegal instruction: 4’’. 

Have you had a similar issue before? Any advice?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Ahmed
