Hello Rodrigo,
Did you download the tar file freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0.tar.gz from this page, and attempt to follow the steps below ?
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall
If you do not have permission to untar (write files) into /usr/local, you could try using another path.
But usually if the tar command has a problem it will echo some error/text to the terminal, e.g., "Permission denied", or say there was an error.
If the command simply returns to the prompt than it should have succeeded, e.g., success with "$" bash shell prompt.
$ tar -C /usr/local -xzvf freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0.tar.gz$
Please try and point out the step that does not work for you.

I just went through the registration process so I'm very new to FreeSurfer but have only run to problems so far and would like to ask for your help:&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have register with FreeSurferWiki but can’t login: it gives me one of the following errors:i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“Error 403 Login/Edit allowed only on https/SSL connections Login/Edit allowed only on https/SSL connections Guru Meditation: XID: 1153030795 Varnish cache serve”.ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Or that it is an “Invalid username or password” (not sure if&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More importantly I have also tried to install FreeSurfer in Virtual Box (4096 MB Memory; 32 MD Video Memory; Ubuntu 64 Bits) without any success. The Ubuntu system works fine and I have the “freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0.tar.gz” to install FreeSurfer but the being totally new to Linux I have not had success to install it:i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I’m not sure if at all the files are unzipped from the .gz file.ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And I have been unable to create the Bash files to define the environment for it.&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally, I notice that you do have an installation for Virtual Disk Image but the download for it (ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/5.3.0/freesurfer-Virtualbox-linux-x86-stable-pub-v5.3-full.vdi..gz) is a gz file not a .vdi file as it should be (see picture below):&nbsp;&lt;image002.jpg&gt;&nbsp;So either way I wasn’t able to get through with the installation and any help is appreciated.&nbsp;Could you please provide some advice?&nbsp;Many thanks,&nbsp;Rodrigo Montenegro+44(0)7503070807&nbsp;_______________________________________________Freesurfer mailing listFreesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.eduhttps://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
