External Email - Use Caution

Hi Tristan,

I'm about to setup a FreeSurfer installation on an Ubuntu system, and I wondered whether you could elaborate on the kind of issues you are experiencing.

Best,

Tim

Is there going to be an "official" Ubuntu build this time around (as in, built and tested in Ubuntu) that isn't the VM? Both the current CentOS and the dev builds continue to have issues (even when compiled from scratch) on my Ubuntu 18.04 servers.

Thanks! T

Hello Mina,

I see from https://www.centosblog.com/centos-eol-dates/ that CentOS 6 will no longer be updated as of 11/2020, and similarly for CentOS 7 in 6/2024. It looks like CentOS 8 was released around September of 2019.

While we do not currently build/test on CentOS8, I am sure it will eventually be supported. Given some users will continue to use CentOS 6 even after 11/2020 and that many people have been running the freesurfer 6 release on CentOS6, then even the upcoming freesurfer 7 release is targeting CentOS6, CentOS7 and Ubuntu linux (as well as Mac OS).

There is also currently an Ubuntu 18 VM with freesurfer 6 and the beta release of freesurfer 7 pre-installed which you can find here, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VM_67

Greetings FreeSurfer team,

I recently upgraded by workstation from Centos 7 to 8.1 as the support for centos 7 will be over soon.

I tried installing freesurfer version 7.0 beta 1 but failed due to some unresolved dependencies (tried on a virtual centos 7 and worked fine) !!

so, when will there be support for centos 8, thank you
