Hi Annie,
It looks like ‘/packages/freesurfer-5.0.0/’ is your system Freesurfer install directory.
It is a good idea to keep your SUBJECTS_DIR separate from Freesurfer install directory. Create your SUBJECTS_DIR where you have write permissions will solve the problem.

External Email - Use Caution
Hi there,
I am trying to run recon-all using the Agave Supercomputer at ASU. When I try to run recon-all, these error messages pop up prohibiting me from running recon-all on my T1 image. Here is the error message I received:
[asurite@agave2:~/Desktop/T1_IMAGE]$ recon-all -s ATN001v1 -i T1-MPRAGE-8min_Series0301_T1-MPRAGE-8min_20211223085844_301.nii.gz -all

cat: /packages/freesurfer-5.0.0/subjects/ATN001v1/scripts/build-stamp.txt: No such file or directory

Subject Stamp:
Current Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0
INFO: SUBJECTS_DIR is /packages/freesurfer-5.0.0/subjects
Actual FREESURFER_HOME /packages/freesurfer-5.0.0
/packages/freesurfer-5.0.0/subjects/ATN001v1: No such file or directory.
I’m curious if the issue is that in order to run recon all and put subject “ATN001v1” into the subjects folder, I have to have the necessary permissions to edit a folder that isn’t under my username in the supercomputer. Please let me know if there are any solutions to this problem. Thanks!
Best,
Annie
