Hello!
I'm Joonyoung Kang, a graduate student in neuroscience.
I've been using freesurfer over an year and I realized that I've used an old version of it.
So I decided to update freesurfer and I couldn't find a way to do that.
Do I just have to re-install the new version of freesurfer?
If so, do I have to make a backup for my previous data in freesurfer folders?
Thank you!
p.s. I'm currently using MacOS X (10.11.6), freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0, and Xquartz 2.7.11
Sincerely,
Joonyoung Kang.
Hi Joonyoung
you can just install the new version in a new location and point your path at it instead of the older version.

Hi Bruce!
Thank you for your fast and kind answer.
I have one more detailed question that I forgot to ask..
The main reason I want to update freesurfer is to use better hippocampal subfield and I want to make the subfield based on my previous data (in the older version freesurfer path)
I expected to do recon-all without -all option (but only with hippocampal subfield option) in the new version because I've already done "recon-all -subjid ${subject} -all -hippo-subfields" in the older version.
Can I do it with new version installed in a new location?
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Joonyoung.

Hi Joonyoung.
I'll leave this for Eugenio, but I think the answer is yes

The answer is yes, indeed. Just be careful when you report your results, specifying which version you used for what. Cheers, /Eugenio
