Hi Bruce,

After downloading, I have put the files in those folders, and I can see them. Furthermore, when I go to the folder and then do the ls command, they are listed as being there. however the command looking for all files with the .nii extension says there are no files there. I don't understand how this is possible, do you?

Thanks for helping out.

Hi Marja

you need to figure out where the input files are! How do you know they are there? Can you run:

ls  -l /Desktop/MRI/*.nii*



cheers

Hi Bruce,

that command also says there is no file or directory:

bash-3.2$ ls -l /Documents/MRI/L001.nii.gz
ls: /Documents/MRI/L001.nii.gz: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$ ls -l /Desktop/MRI/L001.nii.gz
ls: /Desktop/MRI/L001.nii.gz: No such file or directory

Even though, the niftis are really there.

Best,

Marja

                  You need to provide the full path to it with the -i command. Then you can
            use -sd
                  <SUBJECTS_DIR> and -s <SUBJECT ID> to specify where the output should go.
            Make sure that the
                  directory <SUBJECTS_DIR> exists and is writeable by you, as recon-all will
            create a subtree
                  called <SUBJECT_ID> under it

                                    Hi Bruce,
                                    I tried a lot of different commands, trying to figure it

                                    Where can I find the log? I have been looking for it,

                                    I could not find it.
                                    It has been a while since I used Freesurfer, so probably
                                    I am doing something wrong, but I cannot figure
