Hi Zeynab,
that’s a “classic”, which is actually more suited for neurostars.org https://neurostars.org/ as all fmriprep Q&A happens over there.
That being said, you need to provide a Freesurfer license file when running fmriprep (check the corresponding information in the fmriprep docs https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#the-freesurfer-license). You can register and obtain one here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html. Furthermore, you need to make this license file accessible inside the container, hence mounting it accordingly when running fmriprep. There’s a super helpful thread on neurostars.org https://neurostars.org/t/freesurfer-license-file-error-in-fmriprep-1-0-0-rc10/989 wrt this, also covering singularity related fun (starting here https://neurostars.org/t/freesurfer-license-file-error-in-fmriprep-1-0-0-rc10/989/9?u=peerherholz).
HTH, cheers, Peer

I recommend you ask freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu mailto:freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu about the license issue. My understanding is that you need to use the --fs-license-file flag and point it to a file that contains just these lines:
dale@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu mailto:dale@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 001-4567-634 *Cler0.zkanMc FSAe6u/4WBa.E

Also, the link you sent is broken.

What happens if you use the Singularity container we have built at
/usr/pubsw/packages/fmriprep/1.1.8/fmriprep-1.1.8.simg
Here's their example snippet from https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html: https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html:
$ singularity run --cleanenv /my_images/fmriprep-1.1.2.simg \ path/to/data/dir path/to/output/dir \ participant \ --participant-label label
so you'd need to replace /my_images/fmriprep-1.1.2.simg with /usr/pubsw/packages/fmriprep/1.1.8/fmriprep-1.1.8.simg

Hi Domenic,
Thanks for your response.
Can I update my singularity? The current version on my machine in 2.4.4 and any version <2.5 requires a docker installed.

Preparing a Singularity image (Singularity version < 2.5)<https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#id2 https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#id2>
In this case, start with a machine (e.g., your personal computer) with Docker installed. Use docker2singularity<https://github.com/singularityware/docker2singularity https://github.com/singularityware/docker2singularity> to create a singularity image. You will need an active internet connection and some time.

Hi Zeynab,
Docker is a container that requires elevated root privileges and so we do not support it. Please use the singularity container option instead. We have singularity installed on all CentOS computers at the center already.
Best,

Hi,
I'm having trouble installing fmriprep on my machine
The link to the instructions:
https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#singularity-cont... https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#singularity-container
When I follow the instructions to download the program as a docker container, it requires docker to be installed. However, when I attempt to install docker, I am denied access.
Is this something you can assist with?
Kind regards
