Hi David, Just put the commands into your .cshrc file (or .bashrc if you're using bash). Also, please post questions to the FS list instead of us directly so that it gets logged in our archive, other people can answer, and everyone can see the answer. Thanks! doug

Thank you so much! Do you also know how to get FreeSurfer to run automatically when I open the terminal? Right now I have to run the startup sequence every time.

Thanks, David

Hi David, it is not a problem if you're not going to run FS-FAST.
If it
bugs you, you can
setenv NO_FSFAST 1
in your cshrc file prior to sourcing the FS env
