External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Samer,

The git bash shell on Windows will not be sufficient to run freesurfer programs on Windows.  Freesurfer is supported on CentOs Linux, Ubuntu Linux and MacOS.  However, some folks use the Ubuntu shell as supported on Windows 10.  This does work once setup in Windows and after some packages have been added to the Ubuntu image.  I have not used the Ubuntu shell on Windows very much, but you can read about installing and using it via the links below.

Hello,

I am having trouble adding Freesurfer onto my PC. I have the program downloaded, but when I attempt to input a command from the Freesurfer program, it tells me that my command was not found.

This is my first time downloading a program to use in the command line without it being done for me, so I am not super clear on how to go about solving this issue or may have missed a crucial step. I was suggested to add the program onto the path but I am not really sure how to do that.  Any ideas or suggestions will be very helpful!

I am using git bash on my windows, if that is helpful

Thanks for taking the time to look into this, it is greatly appreciated. 

Best,
Samer Muhareb
