External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Gonzalo,

If you don’t mind using Ubuntu 18 as the OS in the virtual machine, then we already have a virtual machine you can run with virtualbox that is close to what you want.   It has the previous version 7 beta 1 release of freesurfer (and also freesurfer 6).  You could start with this VM and update to the 7.0.0 release.

The Ubuntu VM is here,
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VM_67

The 7.0.0 release archive is here,
freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.0.0.tar.gz

Once you bring up the VM (instructions on the web site for doing it on MacOS and Windows), then you could:
1) delete everything under /usr/local/freesurfer/7.0.0..0-1b1
2) rename that subdir from 7.0.0.0-1b1 to 7.0.0
3) untar the 7.0..0 release archive under the new 7.0.0 archive
4) change the bashrc file to use 7.0.0 wherever it says 7.0.0-b1

You could also run the Ubuntu VM on linux - the instructions would be mostly the same as listed for the Mac or Windows.

If you want to run some other OS besides Ubuntu and create your own VM from scratch, then you could use osboxes.org to get the base image to create a VM from.

- R.
