Re: [Freesurfer] Which Dev Version is Best?

Hi Andrew,

While you are updating this, I was wondering if you might be able to answer a related question.

Is it okay to run different subjects, within the same study, using reconstruction with Freesurfer 6.0, and the two Dev versions (the El Capital and the previous Dev version)? I am assuming that the changes are mainly patches and additional functions, and should not effect this processing, but wanted to make sure to be safe.

Thank you for all of your help and info.

Oh! Okay thanks for pointing this out. I’m rebuilding a fixed distribution right now - I’ll let you know when the link’s been updated.

thanks Andrew

For some reason when I tried that version, I got an error when opening Freeview (error: Qt platform plugin "cocoa" missing). I reinstalled the older Dev version which did not give me these issues. I would like to upgrade back up based on your info- might you have any suggestions for how to fix the “cocoa” problem?

Thanks again, Arkadiy

Hi Arkadiy,

You should use the OSX-ElCapitan dev version, it’s the most up-to-date and contains new patches. We’ve recently upgraded the mac dev builds from OS X Lion (10.7) to El Capitan (10.11), so you’re in the clear if you’re using Sierra (10.12). This is a relatively recent change, so let me know if you run into anything unusual!

best Andrew

I was wondering if the OSX-ElCapitan Dev version of freesurfer is only for ElCapital? It has a later date of modification than the “dev” version, so I wanted to check, in case it has new patches. I am running OSX-Sierra, and would love to hear which one would be best.
