Hi Scott,
It looks like "/Users/scottpruett/sample-001.mgz" doesn’t exist because your cp command never ran (you have to specify a destination). Try: cp $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/sample-001.mgz .
best, Andrew

I just recently followed the steps to install Freesurfer on my Mac. The installation initially seems to have gone fine, but when I try to test the installation by using the listed "Example 1: Convert the sample-001.mgz to nifti format," I get the following error:

Any ideas about what I should do to remedy this?
Thanks,
