External Email - Use Caution

Dear FreeSurfer team,

I'm attempting to install freesurfer and am encountering a few problems. When I type in the command: $ source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

It comes back as saying: *no such file or directory found*

I have done the two previous commands as specified; $ export FREESURFER_HOME=$home/username/Downloads/freesurfer [which is the correct path to the freesurfer directory] $ export SUBJECTS_DIR=$FREESURFER_HOME/subjects

Also, if I "ls" the files in $home/username/Downloads/freesurfer there is a file "SetUpFreeSurfer.sh" thus I am unsure why this error occurs.

I've searched the list and whilst some similar errors have been reported. I could not resolve my issue. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this one?

1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.1.1.tar.gz 2) Platform: Ubuntu 18.04

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Kind regards, Rio
