Hello Steve,
We have run the freesurfer 6.0.0 release on Ubuntu 16 and 18 which should also work in a VM.
You may have to install some packages in order to run freesurfer, especially for the freeview program which uses various graphics packages, etc. After downloading the freesurfer 6.0.0 binaries from,
- I would first try to run the freeview binary as that is a good test to help determine what packages may be missing.
I needed to both build and run freesurfer on Ubuntu, so I will list below the packages I installed for both purposes. You should not need for example the gcc compiler packages just to run the 6.0.0 release binaries, but I have not tried to identify a set of packages to only run the binaries.
You will likely also need sudo privileges to install packages.
- R.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
$ sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev
Ubuntu 16: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 gfortran-4.9
Ubuntu 18: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 gfortran-4.8
$ sudo apt-get install xorg xorg-dev libx11-dev
$ sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev tk tk-dev
$ sudo apt-get install qt5-default qtcreator
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5x11extras5-dev
$ sudo apt-get install git-annex
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev
… you will need a libpng, which I got from the archives,
$ curl -O http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
- then install the gdebi tool,
$ sudo apt install gdebi
- change directories to where you downloaded the libpng12 package, and use gdebi to install it,
$ sudo gdebi libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
